Photos from the exhibit: Cloudchamber, Quiet Army, Gold vs. Petker
Inspired by the Bolshoi, Nureyev, and St. Basil's Cathedral. The Czarina collection reveals an investigation into the tangible, darkly luxuriant, and playfully disturbing. The collection is based on imagery found throughout the life of Vasilav Nijinsky, considered the world’s greatest ballet dancer. His life of elaborate costumes, sets, and mingling with nobility, eventually ended in madness. The clothing of the collection is encrusted with prints of jewels, luxuriant, flowing folds of fabrics and rarified fibers. All these elements harken back to the rule of the Czars, who supported by the appallingly opulent vision of St. Petersburg's most decadent jeweler, Peter Carl Fabergé. Catalog Czarina

Photos from Czarina runway events in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City
Held during an epic blizzard in Salt Lake City. Some people waited over three hours in the snow to score front row seats. A Turn of the Century train station in the dead of winter... filled with frescos of Brigham Young's wagon train and railroading history. A spectacle of complex garments, folk inspired mysticism, and Nordic ornamentation--all walking on models from New York and Los Angeles thrown in with Salt Lake's most beautiful. Catalog Caspian

Caspian runway event in the Grand Hall at Salt Lake City's Union Pacific Depot.
Inspired by Mormon prairie witchcraft. The first large collection produced in the Salt Lake City design room. The Mormon influences are everywhere in the collection. One of the oldest cities in the west, Salt Lake was settled by Mormon pioneers and is defined by its bizarre landscapes, violent seasonal changes and miraculous architecture. The streets, temples and tabernacles are encrusted with religious mysticism as well dreamy elements culled from the most fantastic buildings in the world. The frequent references to this symbolism, swirl through the Quiet Army collection. The fascination Mormon’s have with structure, communal work, polygamy, and life and death on the plains, has heavily influenced Jared’s entire life. Catalog Quiet Army

This collection was originally intended to be toured with the Fashion Renegade Runway Show tour. Information on the show, sizzle reel, and photos are included inside. Jared Gold’s Armada collection extracts silhouette inspiration from the austere shapes of the mod 60’s street fashion and crossing them with intense colorations of folk art and Ukrainian dyed eggs. With nods to designers such as Mary Quant, Rudi Gernreich, and Pierre Cardin, the construction is revolutionary... but soft and friendly. Color theory has been gleaned from Scandinavian textile design and has been tempered with elaborate rough-hewn embroideries, inventive closures, outrageous millinery, and brand new metallic fabric technologies. In all, the shapes have assumed a very precise fit while introducing a revolution of color, pattern, and sewing innovation. The collection references an important era… and makes it fierce again. This item is listed out of sequence. Catalog Armada

Inspired by St. Basil's Cathedral.
“Glinka” comes from the Russian opera composer,
Mikhail Glinka, noted for his operas and is often regarded as the father of
Russian classical music.
The Glinka Collection is fueled by the dizzy visions of endlessly complex gypsy operas, psychedelic cattle ranchers, deep country sorcery, and glitter-rock refugees. The initial pieces created for this collection were looked down upon in the Salt Lake Showroom, as just too much. Glinka was the first collection to be developed in Utah with the new team. The inspiration for design was layer upon layer of ornament. Foiled prints, ric-rac, paillettes, ruffles, buttons, pom pom fringe, to start..a dizzying excess. Catalog Glinka

Glinka runway in Los Angeles Old Bank Building, DTLA.
Dustbowl, witchcraft, forced winter, possessed crops, hexed children, spooked horses.
Dragging bramble encrusted gowns to a desperate end.
Second decade America. Our culture based in survival of the least beautiful. Hands worked to the bone, spirits pounded flat in unbelievably oppressive weather. No flappers, no prohibition. . . the streetlights of the city trail off into the deafening volume of the vacant darkness. The frontier. The verge of losing beliefs and hanging on desperately to imagined foes. Spirits in trees, disappearing livestock, rusting pitchfork, milky corneas, sarsaparilla tinctures, and a collapsing barn.
Prairie winds push dust across Spartan Amish floorboards. A little girl tumbles down a well, leaving a whorl of sinking gingham, canvas, and dog-chewed leather.
Out here the darkness has pressure and mass; snatching children and poisoning rivers. Spindle and bobbins click and stretch elaborate tales of dangerous invisible women. Spelling out their fates in elaborate blocky quilted patterns. . . worn and angry designs of mystical forces. Catalog Strangeland Stare

Strangeland Stare at the Shrine Auditorium, LA.
Poem from Strangeland Stare program notes
Magnesium sickle blades, mowing dust exploded fields
Lead glazed cauldron with bubbling milk thistle and verbena
Orange sunsets over decimated and burned groves
Thin ice over irrigation canal
Rancid tea rose perfume concentrated to sludge
Muskrat coat buried deep in the coal cellar
Staring into the wind, combing out cockleburs...

When developing Cloudchamber, I was trying to create almost weightless transparency bordering on disintegration. The collection houses many t-shirt design breakthroughs both in patterning and screen printing as well as chemical treatments and finishes. Cloudchamber is influenced by mid 70’s drawings and illustrations of Peter Max, and an in depth fascination with the scientific methods that have been developed to track cosmic rays through the universe. A device was developed during the early days of radio wave development that proved we were being constantly bombarded by energy on varying bandwidths of intensity. Ranging from harmless alpha waves to the more exciting gamma rays and radiation. This device is called a cloudchamber. It contains a chemical mist and as the waves pass through the chamber on their way through our planet, they leave little bubble trails in the mist in varying colors depending on the intensity of the wave. I wanted to create a group of clothing that not only was inspired by the color range of the wave paths, but also something so light and ephemeral it is almost invisible. The colors represented were very humorous and expansive. This seemed like quite a logical match for the blocky abstracted psychedelic artwork of Peter Max and his contemporaries, such as Milton Glaser and Bjorn Wiinblaad. Catalog Cloud Chamber

Coudchamber Runway photos from the large tent at Bryant Park, Mercedes Benz NYC Fashion Week.
Black Chandelier is acontemporary collection that is intended for a more general audience. Retailing in department stores such as Henri Bendel and Barnys. The collection Melodium was inspired by turn of the century Parisian dancehall nickelodeons, and the crunchy, faded color in post 50’s Havana Cuba. The entire collection is washed and the fabrics are sanded denim presented by Jared Gold at Bryant Park.
The Black Chandelier collection has been being produced alongside Jared Gold to augment the collection with its easy to fit and wear bottoms as well as a seemingly endless stream of bizarre and ornamental t-shirts. Catalog

Coudchamber Runway photos from the large tent at Bryant Park, Mercedes Benz NYC Fashion Week.
That quiet dusty moment before the rain begins. The barometric pressure drops and the
sidewalk starts to steam. Golden Syndrome is that moment before, that ache
ahead of the curtain call, the chill before the sun rises. Using extremely
frail fabrics Jared creates a collection of almost weightless effervescence. Incorporated into all of these clothes
is the culmination of years of construction study. From aggressive Victorian architectural seams to the burgeoning couture of the 60’s
in America. The muted glow cast by the fading ephemera of Joseph Cornell. Catalog

Golden Syndrome runway photos from Gramercy Park Ballroom, NYC.
Full tilt downtown Los Angeles. Way before the stench wore off. The building was literally torn down the next day. 3 collections walked. Motorhead (technically the first Black Chandelier collection), the Red Group, (all custom pieces blood dyed), and the costume collections (years of halloween and costume pieces.) The show was attended by Rik Owens, Austin Scarlet and a barrage of Japanese buyers. A Los Angeles tagging crew did the interior murals and runway. Catalog

Motorhead runway photos from the teardown building at 4th & Main, Los Angeles.
Two shows on two coasts. Bryant Park vs. 4th & Main Alley in Downtown Los Angeles. It gets real. When the Jared Gold and team walked into the giant tent venue in Bryant Park, the tone changed. Possibly forever. No one knew exactly how aggressive the show was going to get. It turned into pure pandemonium, divided the critics and drove the Japanese buyer bonkers. . The Los Angeles show featured a ten story sail between two buildings, a raw pig's leg wearing a dress, constant gender distortion, metaphysical celebrities, and all the downtown LA smell you can eat.

Dark Dynamite runway photos from the big tent at Bryant Park. Nokia Fashion Week, NYC.
My first public runway event. Shrine Auditorium, and the audience was literally dumbstruck. Being selected to show at Gen Art was a huge opportunity for most designers to exhibit very saleable articles, Jared opted for pure WOW. Ornate body paint, gossamer gowns with black glitter face masks, marionettes, and of course, EVERYONE had to have all their teeth blacked out. Dark themes rendered in bright colors continue to run my Jared's work. Catalog

Black Dahlia runway photos from the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles.
Inspired by the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper."
The sooty candy of a troubled heart and the hornet swarm in
so many of our bellfrys.
This collection evokes uneasy feelings of both the reality of being pressed to your limit in the visual world, and the dreams that soon come to fill in the uncomfortable places. . Based on the short story, “The yellowWallpaper”, Jared has attempted to make the viewer feel
rather caged and helpless, while at the same time making it easy to
see from the outside the the prison is imaginary. Wallpaper designs in the patters of prison bars, fabric riveted
together, and explosively blown up screen prints running off the edge
into now where. This
may all seem a little nebulous and confusing, but the effect is warm, close, and dazzling. Unassuming fabrics such as suitings and shirt cottons have been transformed
into maniacally cut patters that have way too much tailoring
detail than needed, almost like someone was trying to draw it from memory. A faded
corrupted memory of something that at one time was truly beautiful. Catalog

Viceroy lookbook photos on the veranda of the original Jared Gold Studio at 6th & Rampart, Los Angeles.
Napoleon was the first season Jared began designing away from the Fred Segal influence. For the years preceding this collection, Jared had been designing private label items especially for the high end women’s department at Fred Segal Melrose After successful sell-though of earlier garments, Jared was encouraged by the buyer Mara White to begin designing a complete collection. Barneys saw it, the Japanese bought it...off the to the races. Catalog
