Was H+M heavily influenced by Hedi Slimane’s first Saint Laurent collection? I will let you decide for yourself. This may not be new, that a fast fashion company is inspired by a luxury designer, but maybe we should ask ourselves what are the long term consequences of such actions.ImageH&M, A/W13 (revealed recently)

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.
