Ben hooks up with Matthew

Fashion brands love to hook up on collaborations – everyone working together to create a capsule collection. But like all hook ups, the offspring aren’t always pretty. Or sometimes the results just seem like something the original brand could have come up with own their own. Luckily for Ben Sherman, Matthew Miller brings a new edge to the brand I often find missing from Sherman.

For Spring/Summer 2014, these two British houses have come together around the idea of a ‘disaffected generation’ “that forms an identity through rebellion and the pressure to conform.”  Aren’t we all part of the ‘DGF’ (Disaffected Generation Forever) ? We might as well wear it proudly. My picks from the collection: the shirting. Collection available as of April 22 online.

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.
