Minimal Sneak

In a fashion world now dominated by overtly colourful (and often ugly) sneakers, it is a breath of fresh air to see some new minimalist sneakers emerge onto the scene – especially when they seem to love to work in blue suede. Enter Strange Matter and their collection of unisex footwear collection that reflects a refined minimalistic approach. 

Strange Matter have won me over with their emphasis on minimal design, a sharp focus on details and quality craftsmanship. The collection features 4 unique style models interpreted in premium Italian calfskin and kid suede combinations in a restrained color palette of black, white, navy, and tan. The entire collection is 100% produced in Italy, including all leathers and trims. Now I just have to decide between the two high tops in blue – at $380 each, they are great deal. Available currently at Barneys NYC.

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.
