Denim Kicks

As I child I almost never wore denim; I don’t think I owned a proper pair of jeans until I hit uni. And now I have a lingering obsession with all things denim. Maybe it’s the Canadian in me? Maybe it’s just because I am cooler than you are.

Enter a denim Berluti – have you ever seen a better juxtaposition between low brow and high class? Made in Italy, the Berluti ‘Playfield’ sneakers have been cut from burnished Venezia leather that’s offset by panels of dark-wash denim. Available through Mr. Porter, $1115

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.
