BLING in 2014

It’s seems Gold is having a big moment right now; fashion, industrial design, interiors are all embracing this metal. Gold isn’t for everyone and quite frankly a lot of people try to wear it and they shouldn’t but you should. There is something great about a little bit of over the top gold. Lamé baby ain’t lame but yes, I am suggesting it’s a bit tacky. And I am suggesting it’s okay to be a little bit tacky. (Warning, I said a little bit tacky, one over the top gold item is best for you amateurs of this metal) And if you don’t believe me that gold shoes are a good buy, you can believe Nick Wooster.

Named after GREATS’ stylist-in-residence (and menswear fashion god – and I don’t use that term lightly) Nick Wooster, the solid slip-on boasts the quality finishes as GREATS’ other models and every pair is handcrafted in Italy. Both the Wooster and the Royale are available in silver but I would suggest you only get them in gold.

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.
