The new Facetasm 2011 Fall/Winter collection for men features a multitude of layered looks to keep anyone toasty warm this cold weather season. The Japan-based designer of the line Hiromichi Ochiai is known for his avant garde qualities showcased in almost all of his designs.
The Facetasm 2011 Fall/Winter collection is certainly avant garde, but in a very unconventional way as it piles piece after piece on top of each other to combine a series of fascinating looks. The model featured in the lookbook is heavily draped in a variety of knits, ponchos, jackets, vests and large scarves. What separates each piece is its funky pattern or vibrant hue; the model is shown covered in plenty of plaid, stripes and even an American flag-inspired scarf. The Facetasm 2011 Fall/Winter collection certainly stands out amongst the other collections I have seen for the upcoming cooler season.
