CFDA Menswear 2015

I bet you thought awards season was over, but you are definitely wrong. This morning, the CFDA announced the nominees for this year’s Fashion Awards that will be handed out on June 1st at Lincoln Center. This year’s list features the usual suspects – no real surprises here. As usual the Public School boys are on top and the menswear designers list features well known brands from years past but I always see the CFDA nominations as an opportunity to discover some newer talents. The Swarovksi award (which includes cash money) for emerging menswear talent list features some great designers who you should know. No? Look them up. Now.

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.
