TODD X STEPHEN

Lately, every designer and their dog seems to be doing multiple collaborations. And while I admire the idea of two designers coming together to create something – it often seems to fall flat. But here is a collaboration that made the difference – and one that made me want Stephen Kenn furniture for my house instead of my cottage.

Stephen Kenn, a Canadian transplant to LA, has spent the last several years exploring his design aesthetic through denim, accessories, bags and even furniture. Most notably, he has become know for his minimalist sofas that reuse WWII military fabrics and webbing. I have always been a big fan of his aesthetic but felt it was too rugged for my current enviro.

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.
