Shadowy Color-Block Chic

Inspired by Light Contrast, ChuTing Lee Creates Colored-In Men's Suits

Designer ChuTing Lee has said he was inspired by shadow when he was creating his new design for men's fashion. The suit's unique feature is the colored-in 'shadow.' Although inventive, the feature ends up looking like a t-shirt on top of the jacket.

Based in Milan, Italy, ChuTing Lee has an eye for all types of design. You can check out this collection, and more of his designs at the link attached below.
