Not Your Dad’s Loafers

Penny loafers have always been a staple in my wardrobe but you can easily go wrong when picking out the right pair. Many brands stick to the tried and tested shape, colour and leathers – leading to dullsville. But luckily for us many designers upped the penny loafer game this spring. (above, Valentino, $935 )

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.
