Brad Pitt started gaining points in the style game a long time ago. And of all the A-list Hollywood actors, Brad Pitt is the one who has truly proved that style has no age limit, which is why I named him this month’s “Man of Style.” What was the first movie you saw that starred Brad Pitt?

I would pretend I was a television newswoman, staring at my reflection in the microwave oven door, reading the news stories I had written. Then when I was about 16 years old, I began writing.
