Whether planning a cruise in St. Tropez or a Jungle-themed trip to an African safari, the Michael Bastian Spring/Summer 2014 menswear collection is an elegantly modern translation of traditional travel-wear. Marrying his impeccable tailoring with visually vivid prints, the designer pairs timeless wardrobe essentials with cheeky and personality-filled graphics.
