Fashion with a Cause

I recently discovered Charitybuzz and was fully impressed by the concept – online auctions aimed at helping fund charities, and they even have a fashion focus. You can bid on everything from custom made shoes from Esquivel to Modeling classes from Coco Rocha and even a backstage pass to Thom Browne‘s next runway collection and much more. My personal favourite might be a Coffee Date with model Amber Valletta. All proceeds going to Fashion for the Philippines.

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.
