My Style: Bill Musso

Designer Bill Musso likes his clothes to be clean and classic with a modern fit. And he wears vintage cuff links instead of jewelry.

BILL MUSSO, 45, is the owner and principal interior designer of the Musso Design Group Inc. He lives in Druid Hills.

SIGNTURE STYLE: "Clean and classic with a modern fit: French and Italian shirts, amazing shoes, little or no jewelry."

Pink and raspberry glen-plaid shirt from Tailorbyrd, 7 For All Mankind jeans, and Original Penguin blazer.

Musso had vintage buttons sewn onto the Original Penguin jacket.

COLLECTIBLES: "I love vintage cuff links! My favorite source for these is The Missing Link in New York City."

FAVORITE STORES: Saks, Theory, Hugo Boss, Bluefly.com, Faconnable.

STANDOUT FASHION MOMENT: "While in Paris last April, I was mistaken several times as a local. I considered that a compliment!" Handmade, custom-ordered shirt from Smalto and wool crepe pants by Theory.

Vintage cuff links from The Missing Link in New York.

FAVORITE LABELS: "Prada, Theory, Michael Kors, Armani, Hugo Boss, Fa onnable." 1960s-inspired navy and black textured blazer and shirt by Versace, 7 For All Mankind jeans, Salvatore Ferragamo patent leather shoes and Gucci sunglasses.

Pinstriped shirt in a Greek-key motif by Versace.

A WEAKNESS: "Shoes. I can't have enough. I have over 50 pairs. I will get professional help for this addiction someday (to help polish the shoes -- not therapy)." Gucci, Cole Haan and Hugo Boss shoes.

BEST FIND: "A great Prada print camp shirt on the sales rack at Saks. I almost pulled it out of Paul McCartney's hands when he was here in August for his concert. (Even Sir Paul is shopping for deals these days. I literally bumped into him at the markdown rack.)" Musso, with his dog Aaron, wears a purple polo-style jersey from Bon Marche in Paris, 7 For All Mankind jeans and blue suede shoes from Hermes.

ATLANTA STYLE IS ... "In all demographics, great fashion exists in Atlanta. But we can be way too casual and careless. We are a city of over-achievers, but that does not always translate into a respectable style."
