Originally from Idaho (where he got his start crafting hats and costumes for rave attendees), rising star Jared Gold got his formal education at the Otis College of Fashion Design in Los Angeles. He left school after just two years, having landed a deal with Barneys New York in 1998. His Gothic gowns are characterized by dramatic necklines, bishop sleeves, and sweep-the-floor lengths. In 2001, Gold debuted the Black Chandelier label, a competitively priced line aimed at the ready-to-wear market, and made his New York debut that same year. His recent collections have moved away from the dark, edgy look that once characterized his style, but have retained the high drama for the extreme that makes him a standout.

Jared Gold is not your typical Hollywood body-beautiful designer but his idiosyncratic sensibilities have hit a nerve in this city of make-believe. His studio is the kind of place the quirky French movie heroine "Amelie" would feel at home; a whimsical den evocative of an Edwardian childhood with a bitter-sweet twist. From studying piano to fashion via a free-fall stint designing rave clothes, Jared Gold's eclectic personality is what fuels his work and his "Golden Syndrome" collections played out like a nineteenth century carnival of characters dressed-up for an imaginary picnic.
