The Jay Z x Barneys NY collection,A New York Holiday, dropped yesterday. There has been much hullabaloo over this collection and Barneys NYC and race issues. I am not going to comment on that on this blog – you can read about it on everyone else’s. (If you don’t know about it get your head out of your ass).

Anyway, for those who don’t know, the offering features a host of collaborations between Jay Z and some of Barney’s best menswear brands, including En Noir, Acne Studios, Stutterheim, Balmain, etc. 100% percent of the profits are set to be donated to The Shawn Counter Foundation. I am more than willing to give him props for supporting this cause but this collection is mostly ugly and often overpriced. And that is a lot coming from me. But here are my select picks that are actually worth the coin (although the T. Anthony Duffel feels like a LV rip off -I won’t judge you buying it)

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.
