Combining the nerd look with the indie rocker has been an ever increasingly hot trend as of late, and the Michael Bastian Fall 2010 line brings the two worlds together in perfect unison.
Using classic pieces of dweeby flair: the bow tie the checkered vest, the Michael Bastian Fall 2010 line adds a touch of rebellion by throwing in some pre-ripped denim and Doc Martens to create a look that is sure to be duplicated by hipsters all over the country later this year.
