GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT
I’m immensely proud of the journey we have had with Coldplay - a dream we shared as teenagers turned into something beyond any of our expectations.
STYLE ICON
I spend a lot of time researching and collecting military clothing - I like workwear. I find real-life 'style' much more appealing than styling for the sake of it. So I draw inspiration from a picture of a USAF helicopter pilot, or Jaques Cousteau on his boat, or Gianni Agnelli on a Ski-slope - situations where real-life clothing is being worn.
ALBUM
I consume a huge amount of music - its hard for me to condense it down... but I couldn't live without The Beatles or Motown...
GROOMING
I don’t spend much time grooming or using products - I’m pretty basic in that department. My friend Nick Saunders started a company called Saunders & Long and I use that occasionally.
BAG
A nylon rucksack which contains my laptop, my Leica cameras and all the various associated cabling. Also a paper copy of my schedule goes everywhere with me.
WATCH
I’m drawn to most vintage 'tool' watches from the 1960's - so Rolex Submariners, Tag Heuer Carrera's etc. I prefer steel watches that are function in design and not too dressy.
