Biography
Gold grew up in Idaho Falls and was already a child piano prodigy long before he discovered fashion design. In 1990 he attended the Piano Conservatory of Hawaii for a year and soon after took up the harpsichord. Gold trained at Los Angeles' Otis Parson's School of Design. Gold is lead designer for his clothing company Black Chandelier. Gold has been creating fashion for men women and children since 1992, and shows his collections at events in Los Angeles as well as New York City. His collections are based in antiquated imagery, and use victorian sewing details. Gold is the originator of the jewelled Giant Madagascar Hissing cockroach worn as jewelry know as the "Roach Brooch." Gold lectures to students about fashion at all levels of education and has contributed to the fashion book Garb: A Fashion and Culture Reader, published by his former instructors; Kathry Hagen and Parme Giantini.
He got his start crafting hats for rave attendees.He left school after just two years, having landed a deal with Barneys New York in 1998. His Gothic gowns are characterized as having 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. Black Chandelier's models were easily recognizable, most of them were former participants in reality TV shows, including Fox's "America's Next Top Model"; Bravo's "Project Runway"; CBS' "Survivor"; and Oxygen's "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency."
