Nevertheless, as our publication consistently insists: true fashion lies not in what you wear, but in how you wear it.
Sir Arthur, with an almost obsessive restraint, took minimalism to the extreme, yet achieved a distinctive style.
His attire is never eye-catching, but he himself is always striking.
Take this sketch published in this issue as an example: He is dressed in a deep black double-breasted long coat, paired with a wine-red linen shirt and a white silk cravat. His lower half features well-tailored dark trousers, and he dons custom-made black leather boots. In his right hand, he holds a silver-headed ebony cane, which is said to be a gift from Mr. Michael Faraday (though Mr. Faraday was born into a family of blacksmiths, whether this cane was crafted by his own hands is unknown to us), and so Sir Arthur has used it for many years, never replacing it.
