His new tricks are the same as his old tricks – showing us all much cooler he is than the rest of us, how to dress better (proof: his Pitti Uomo street style), and creating collaborative collections with smaller niche brands. Nick Wooster chose this season of Pitti to show off his latest collaborative collection with Italian label Lardini. The collection reflects Wooster’s signature personal style: great blazers, mismatched patterns, and great shorts (to show off those dope tats).
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.
