Living in New York, I’m often out for the entire day. Anything can happen. And sometimes, things change at the last minute. That’s why I make a point of wearing comfortable clothes. I’d been looking for a good pair of functional pants when I found these Easy Cargo Pants. Like the name says, they’re meant to keep things easy in a variety of situations. They work in all kinds of weather, plus they’re durable. Just right for stepping out on a rainy day. In spring and summer they work great with sneakers, and in winter they go nicely with snow boots. When I’m out filming, I wear clothes that make it easy to move around. These pants have so many pockets, I can fit whatever I need: phone, pens, walkie-talkie. They’re also great for days when I’m home editing, or hanging out relaxing after work.

When I was directing a short movie for the UT and Sofia Coppola collaboration, we spent time filming the streets of New York. Working with my new friend the artist Losel Yauch and the genius Helena Howard, we did our best to pay homage to Sofia’s creativity. Such a fun experiment. I’m usually downtown at my place, so I head over to the UNIQLO in SoHo a lot. Sometimes I’ll dip in for some extra socks or innerwear, or if I’m in the neighborhood I’ll stop in and have a look. UNIQLO has so many great layering options. It helps New Yorkers make it through the hot summers and cold winters.
