The Jonathan Saunders Autumn/Winter 2013 collection displays an assortment of colors that bleed into one another. The British designer has brought these dripping looks to the fashion fore at the London Collections: Men event, the current site of England's top in-season looks.
Sensible trousers, outerwear and suit pieces were mixed with this Autumn/Winter 2013's line of vibrant tops. A large chunk of these tops borrowed from popular ombre motifs as chromatic pinks and blues flowed into one another in a cascading manner. The way in which the clothing slightly unraveled points to Saunders' hold over the industry. While this look has the ability to be overwhelming, he has released it with a sense of practicality that is actually quite relaxed.
