DoubleBreasted

Double Breasted Blazers used to be relics of the past; fashion staples from our father’s generation. But like all things old – it is new again; with a slimmer fit, It looks modern again. But will this trend catch on? No, because it is not a trend but a classic that many a fashion victim abandoned for the newest slim fit suits. Looking around this past Pitti Uomo season, all you could see was a sea of well dressed fashion-forward men rocking the double breasted blazer. Just make sure the blazer is well tailored to your body (this ensures you don’t look like you are wearing your Dad’s boxy blazer). I will warn you that is a tough hunt to find one in many retail stores, but the hunt will pay off. Trust.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
