10 Questions with Count Nikolai of Monpezat

Count Nikolai of Monpezat has a sales call in 40 minutes. He is talking to me on Zoom from the office of his modelling agency in Copenhagen, and there are headshots and handsome moodboard images pasted on the wall behind him. But after we hang up, he will hop nimbly out of this part of his life — the fashion part, the style part, the part that has seen him do catwalks for Burberry and campaigns with Georg Jensen — and back into the world of real estate investment. His tie allows him to straddle both. A jaunty printed silk number from Australian tailors P. Johnson, it is both formal and fun; expressive and appropriate. It also reminds him of his grandfather, he says.
