The Assaf Reeb Fall/Winter 2013 graduate collection was showcased at this year's Central Saint Martins MA student presentation. The rookie designer redefines traditional menswear design ideals, ditching masculine details and tailored cuts and instead opting for a more feminine design aesthetic.
From high-waisted swimwear trunks to sleek and simplistic short and t-shirt combos, this all-black menswear line reads edgy and genderless. Whether embracing solid basics or showcasing decorative embroidery accents, the Assaf Reeb Fall/Winter 2013 MA graduate collection for Central Saint Martins defies tradition and dares to challenge society's perception on gender.
