The Ricardo Andrez Spring/Summer 2013 collection is a contemporary take on a traditional workwear aesthetic. The Portuguese menswear designer names "repetition and uniformity" as one of his main inspirations for the collection. Entitled 'Working For the Man,' this runway presentation reinvents classic uniform silhouettes, giving aprons, overalls and harnessed details a new and modern twist.
This stunning menswear collection is both eclectic and edgy in its styling. Marrying classic tailoring along with oversized silhouettes and utilitarian accents, the Ricardo Andrez Spring/Summer 2013 collection embraces a bold blue collar design concept seen through the designer's rough and rugged garments. Though versatile and functional, these innovative pieces are not only tough, but sleek and sophisticated, exuding a strong sense of comfort and mobility.
