I've never really been a fan of lumberjack style, but the Humor Fall 2011 collection puts a rad and modern twist to these warm, outdoorsy looks.
In heavy-layered ensembles, this colorful collection consists of nordic wool sweaters, mismatched plaid shirts and streetwear hikers. The patterns are eccentric and the lookbook's model adds a whimsical flair to the casual outfits of the Humor Fall 2011 collection, making it a hot line of menswear gear.
Implications - Fashion has turned its gaze backwards in recent years, a response to the increasing demand for nostalgic, almost retro goods. What this points to is a dissatisfaction with modern design habits, meaning that businesses which focus on delivering time-tested looks and products will find favor with the wistful consumers of today.
