Q. What are you wearing today?
A. One of my shirts, Levi’s and a pair of Adidas Stan Smith’s.  I had to go a little more formal because I may have to go to dinner tonight – I’m usually a jeans and white sneaker guy.

Q. What was the last big purchase you made on clothing?
A. I was in Japan just a little while ago and bought a Lanvin suit.

Q. What was the last album listened to from beginning to end?

Q. What do you always have in your refrigerator?
A. Peanut butter, frozen bagels, rice milk – I’m lactose intolerant.

Q. What’s your favorite place to eat dinner in New York?
A. Omen on Thompson St. or Minetta Tavern in the West Village.  I like going to Minetta Tavern because it’s by no means a normal place, I mean, it’s a little over the top, but that’s what makes it fun.  Barry Diller can walk in and sit next to you, but it still serves very good, normal food.

Q. Where do you feel most like yourself?
A. Chinatown or the Spa Castle in Queens.

Q. Any momentary style obsessions?
A. Bicycles!  We actually found a small company that may start making bikes for our new pop-up store in the Hamptons.

Q. Where do you go on vacation?
A. I like going to the North Fork in upstate New York.  I really like farms and fresh produce, so getting out to the North Fork is great for me. I also go to Normandy, in the north east part of France every year to visit my brother, where it’s nice just to relax.

Q. What’s the last great movie you saw?
A. I just saw Coach, which was directed by Will Frears, who’s a friend of mine.  I liked it alot, and I’m not saying that just we’re friends, it really was a great film.

Q. What’s next for your label?
A. We’re expanding our online presence, starting to ship internationally, and increasing our deliveries from two to six times a year.  We’ve also got new pant and shirt styles coming out at the same time – it’s alot, but very exciting.
We also have a new collaboration coming out soon with Chari and Co. NYC.  We’re doing a flannel biking shirt together that has a ribbed collar and cuffs, an easy access pocket in the front and a big zip pocket in the back.

WHERE. Steven Alan is located in New York and around the world.  Click here for store locations.
