Understated Luxury

Image

I hate to break the news to you but your monogram bag is far from luxury. Thanks to a sea of knock offs in the monogram bag, everyone just assumes you are carrying a fake now. Or at least overly pretentious and paid too much for a canvas bag. Don’t worry, you don’t need to throw out all your monogram bags – donate them to a shelter. And get yourself one of these understated luxury bags. If anyone asks who made it, you simply reply “I picked up for $9,000 from a small artisanal leather brand – Frank Clegg Leatherworks“.

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.
