ACNE shines on

I have spent most of my life embracing the idea of uniform dressing even before the concept was named ‘uniform dressing’. I rarely stray from my basics of a black button down shirt and dark raw denim jeans. Even with my insatiable appetite for shoes I rarely stray from my shoe basics – and that includes high gloss/ patent leather black shoes. It has often lead people to ask me, “Who wears patent shoes anymore? Aren’t those just for formal occasions?” I do. And No. Tsk Tsk.

Enter ACNE, who seems to be killing it with the high gloss shoes this SS14. Remember the Oilslick Derby?  Now they also have the Adrian sneaker in gloss black and at a lower price point. It is a classic runner that will never go out of style. And the Klein blue suede Adrian may just be the first pair of blue suede shoes you must own.

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.
