For RICHARD CHRISTIANSEN, whose Flamingo Estate produces candles, wine, and other sensuous bounty, Mother Nature is the ultimate muse

■ Style File

TO SLEEP: Entireworld underpants and my Whoop (2). DAILY UNIFORM: I wear the same thing every day. My entire wardrobe can fit in one suitcase: Patagonia T-shirt (13), cargo pants, and work boots. Elder Statesman sweater (7) if it's Cold. GO-TO SHOE: Red Wing boots (5). The more I wear them, the better they look, TO WORK OUT: T-shirts and sweats from the Great (8).
