Long-Locked Backstage Boys

The Duckie Brown FW 2012 Show Features Long-Haired Dudes

The Duckie Brown FW 2012 show featured an eccentric collection of flannel pants, drop-crotch trousers and tough wooly coast. The most memorable aspect of the show, however, was the series of rugged-chic models.

Many of the models in the show donned a bed-head mop or long locks. The skater boy-esque hair gave the entire line a street-worthy feel, where it may have otherwise been just another lumberjack look. What's more, the dudes in the show carried a brooding look. The careless attitude in combination with the untamed hair gave the show an effortless appeal.

Duckie Brown is a New York-based fashion line, with a goal as pure and true as it could be in the fashion world -- dressing men beautifully.
