The Icons | The businessman and photographer is known for his elegant and timeless outfits

Mention the word “gentleman” and the ubiquitous well‐mannered man in a classic suit comes to mind. But meet Lionel Leo, who is the ultimate redefinition of that. Beyond his more casual ensembles comprising well‐crafted separates that evoke a more timeless insouciance, the investment firm co‐founder, former architect and fashion industry veteran is armed with a demeanour that cannot be described as anything but elegant. Reflecting his refined penchants for bespoke tailoring and artistic pursuits as a photographer, each piece and picture reveal a depth of perspective only years of experience in the business of luxury could hone. His affinity for statement accoutrements, too, not only tells a story of his explorations of art, culture and style, but also of the grace and colour of a life well lived, well designed and well travelled.
