The Casely-Hayford 2010 Autumn collection is far from your typical menswear line. Despite drawing from classic mens designs and military influences, there is something radically different about the line.
The Casely-Hayford 2010 Autumn collection finds the middle ground between conventional fashion and going completely off the page. It is very tailored, yet you can find a sleeve missing from one of their suit jackets and sleeves on other garments that look like a bunch of ties all stitched together. Take a look at the gallery to see the rest of the line.
