Lobsters like Sunnies

Save some lobsters, buy some sunnies. Huh? What?

I recently discovered a new eye wear line out of Maine,Traps, that re-purposes lobster traps. Don’t worry, this isn’t another company that ranks high on Eco-conscious and low on design. My favourite pair is aptly named Jack, after John F Kennedy. These glasses take a modern twist on the classic 60s swagger we have come to know JFK for; no one epitomized an effortless yet sophisticated preppy cool more than him (well maybe Martha Stewart). Jack is made out of a combination of Italian acetate and aged oak re-purposed from lobster traps. Get your own cool today, $280.

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.
