Recovering PREP

My name is Christian Dare and I am a recovering Preppy. It took me a few years to come to terms with this but I can know trace my Prep addiction back to my days of being dressed head-to-toe in Ralph Lauren at the age of 6. I would love to blame my mother for this but it was of my own making.

And now I have relapsed thanks to the likes of Thom Browne and the latest from Maison Martin Margiela. MMM takes the classic prep cardigan – the one you would wear to play tennis or hang out on your yacht and turns it up a notch with paint. Available online.  It would be perfect with some MMM paint splatted kicks.

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.
