Rei’s Nikes?

Rei Kawakubo ‘s reach knows no boundaries. Although her brand, Comme des Garcons had absolutely no part in the new Nike NYC City Pack, it looks like a Rei knock off to me. Yes, I said it,  Comme des Garcons owns the polka dot as much as Burberry owns their signature plaid. Disagree? Fuck off.

I love the bold all over polka dot pattern and the addition of the suede boat style laces (although I would switch them out to something more colourful or classic black). “NYC” City Pack releases on May 16 at Nike.com.

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.
