On style, shopping, investment pieces and a to-do list for 2026 …
WHO Colin Fagan, founder of Care Of Creatives (c/o Creatives), a marketing, production and event management business.
YOUR STYLE? Understated yet considered. I tend to build on elevated basics, with a strong focus on texture and quality. It’s pared-back, but always intentional.
WHAT DO YOU WEAR TO WORK AND OFF DUTY? Unless I’m going to the gym, my work and off-duty wardrobes are essentially the same. I gravitate towards clean denim, boxy-fit T-shirts and simple knitwear, often layered with an overshirt or a suede or velvet jacket. My jeans are from Massimo Dutti. I get my sneakers from The Mercer Brand or A Day’s March – they’re classic and last for years.
BEST INVESTMENT PIECES? James Perse cashmere crew-neck sweaters, Church’s suede loafers, a chocolate brown suede jacket from Massimo Dutti, and a navy Acne Studios wool flannel blazer.
My style used to lean more towards streetwear, which was fun at the time, but it doesn’t feel like me anymore.
WHERE DO YOU SHOP? I rarely shop online, I make most of my purchases when I travel: I love discovering new stores and boutiques abroad. I’m also a sucker for a Uniqlo haul.
HAS YOUR STYLE EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS? Definitely. Even before “quiet luxury” became a trend, I found myself naturally moving in that direction. My style used to lean more towards streetwear, which was fun at the time, but it doesn’t feel like me anymore.
STYLE ICON? My mum is my forever style icon.
Dior Granville leather bag, Dior, at Brown Thomas.
SHOPPING WISH LIST? The suede Granville bag from Dior by Jonathan Anderson.
FAVOURITE ACCESSORIES? My green Goyard Cap-Vert crossbody bag and my growing Cartier collection.
SKINCARE ROUTINE? Lifting Eye Serum by La Mer, tretinoin cream, a niacinamide serum from The Ordinary, and The Rich Cream by Augustinus Bader. During the day, I use a hyaluronic acid serum from The Ordinary and Dr Jart+ BB Cream with SPF50.
Carbone eau de parfum, Balmain, €165, at Boots.
Green The Re-Run M suede sneakers, €169; www.themercerbrand.com.
SIGNATURE SCENT? I tend to change it slightly with the seasons, but more often than not I layer two fragrances, Carbone by Balmain with T07 by Taif Al Emarat on top.
FAVOURITE APPS? The Moon app! I’m slightly obsessed with the moon and the effect it can have on people. I even have a widget on my home screen so I can keep track of the cycle.
TO-DO LIST FOR 2026? I’m really excited to launch my own series of events later this year. I’m also focused on expanding my team and growing the business into a new area I’ve been developing for a while.
