James Long 2011 Spring/Summer Collection

199 Hypes

Designer James Long brings out the oil paints and knitting pins for his Spring/Summer 2011 Collection during London Fashion Week. Focusing on the knit trend which is big in menswear for next Spring, over sized silhouettes are complimented with cuffed shorts and rugged boots. Distressed sweaters with intricate cable knitting and large holes, leather biker vests with matching shorts were just a few of the standout looks on display. What sticks out the most in this collection is the designer’s sorbet color palette, which is a mixture of distorted paint splatters and psychedelic prints over garments. To give the collection some sanity, Long added solid jumpers in white and twin knit sets in navy.
