Just for you

Adrien Brody is best known for having won an Oscar in 2003 for “The Pianist.” But now the 42-year-old Queens native is making his mark in another genre: fine art. This week, as part of Art Basel Miami Beach, Mr. Brody will be showing his first series of paintings at Domingo Zapata’s pop-up gallery at the Lulu Laboratorium. Titled “Hotdogs, Hamburgers and Handguns,” the series, according to Mr. Brody, accounts for pop culture obsessions, including fast food and violence. Below, he shares five of his favorite things.

SWEATSHIRT I wear my Bonds gray hoodie almost every day. I got it as a gift, and it’s lightweight and kind of the perfect fit. It also fits in my nomadic lifestyle right now. I can throw it in my backpack at a moment’s notice.

SHOES A pair of Steve Madden black combat boots were part of my character’s wardrobe on a movie, and I basically took them home with me. They zip up the sides. I’ve bought a second pair since, though, because I like them so much. I’ll wear them with a suit or just with a pair of jeans while hanging out. I’ve worn them even with a tuxedo before. I’m sure some fashion critic has drawn a big red circle around my feet labeling it as a fashion faux pas.

JACKET I’m normally pretty monochromatic. It’s probably because of growing up in New York and just the ease of grabbing something and running out the door. But for some reason my purple Dolce & Gabbana motorcycle jacket works. I’ll layer it with the hoodie when I travel. If you’ve noticed, everything is zip-up. I can undress rapidly!

WATCH I’m a Bulgari ambassador, and I wear the Bulgari Octo watch. I like this particular one because it’s understated and elegant and, again, versatile. Before Bulgari, though, I’ve always loved elegant or well-designed mechanical things. I used to restore muscle cars when I was in high school. Then when I started making money, I bought watches. Some of them are wonderful to just marvel at.

CAP My favorite thing, and this is really the truth, is a “King Kong” baseball hat. It’s been with me since the premiere of “King Kong,” so it’s maybe 10 years old now. We had closed down several theaters in Times Square for the premiere, and there was this guy hawking “King Kong” merchandise. Here I am being ushered down the street and this guy saw me and ran over and gave it to me. It meant so much to me. Now it comes with me everywhere I go. It affords me a little anonymity when I have it on. It’s fallen into a lake when I was boating, and I went back and retrieved it. You could say it’s lived-in.Read more at:one shoulder prom dresses uk
