NYFW lesson#1

There are many things you can learn from the runways of New York Fashion week (the latest trends for Spring 2014 perhaps) but the real lessons are learnt on the streets of NYC.  Lesson #1 : You should own a man clutch.  Many brands have launched them recently with the name leather pouch – maybe this is supposed to sound more manly. But a pouch never sounded very manly to me. Just suck it up – it’s a clutch. You should be comfortable enough with your masculinity to own one. I have been carrying one for years.

My long time trusted go-to Man Clutch is by M0851. Which they seem to not produce anymore – thank god I bought them in every colour. But for the rest of you – you can settle for Balenciaga (which I will probably also buy). Keep in mind – the larger the better. The upside – no unsightly cellphone and wallet bulges in your slim trouser pockets. Other bulges are more important.

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.
