The designer behind the ChristianMicheal label has been in love with art and fashion since he was just a kid. The Kansas City native loves KC and is a huge advocate for our town. He launched his modern menswear line eight years ago with distinctive ties, bow ties, t-shirts, and hats. Two years ago, he expanded into womenswear with his sHe by ChristianMicheal collection, where he’s best known for his coats with a dazzling level of detail.
Christians’s essentials…
sHe Fall 2018 Coats: I love to design outerwear. Right now the military look with diamond quilted fabric is hot and matches my design aesthetic.
Favorite Cocktail: I’m a rum and Coke man, Sailor Jerry rum if you’ve got it. I can be seen ordering this every time at the Monarch Bar or Green Lady Lounge.
Fun Day Out: I’m a huge history nerd, and we head out to the city’s many historic sites, monuments and museums. Two of my favorites are Steamboat Arabia and Liberty Memorial.
Made In KC: Hallmark Cards. I worked there for many years and loved my time working for a great KC family like the Hall family.
Date Night Out: My lady and I are buffet lovers, and Peach Tree Buffet is our favorite. We are suckers for fried chicken and soul food.
Most Admired Local Celeb: Matt Baldwin of Baldwin Market and Standard Style, because he and his label are what I aspire to one day be.
