Vintage Americana

I have a hate/love relationship with vintage. No. No. It’s not love/hate, it’s hate/love. So I love when a company makes easier for me. Enter Couverture and the Garbstore and their Vintage American Optical by The Quality Mending Company; real standard issue vintage military glasses, reworked cellulose acetate frames with UV protected green tinted lenses.

In a land that has become over populated with designer sunglasses at every turn, and on every face, it’s nice to find some vintage specs that aren’t cool just because of the logo on the arm.

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.
