As The Manual’s Style and Grooming Editor, Christian Gollayan is passionate about helping men feel confident through fashion and personal care. Born in Manila and raised in Chicago, his first brush with fashion began as a freelance accessories assistant at Vogue.

Christian relocated to Portland by way of Hong Kong, where he was a Society Editor at Hong Kong Tatler, covering the city’s most influential people. Before that, he was a Features Reporter and Producer at the New York Post. Christian has a graduate degree from the Columbia University School of Journalism, and his work has also been featured in InStyle, Food & Wine, and Page Six. When he’s not at the office, Christian is probably poring over menswear sales online, training for half-marathons, or hosting dinner parties.
