It was chill, but not too chill. And that’s the secret formula, Starkey’s suits kinda stick to the formal dress code, but they’re still fun. And when it comes to the finer details, Starkey keeps it classic, with a pinky ring and signet ring on his index finger.

Initially known for its quality leather goods, Anderson has reinterpreted the house’s approach to craft with his subversive playfulness and cross-cultural collaborations with artists and actors, like Starkey.
