The Carin Wester Spring/Summer 2013 collection is a risk-taking design project that will likely change the way people think about men's fashion. Wester describes the collection as a departure from the classic suit "revealing contemporary elegance with a relaxed attitude."
The collection uses an interesting and modern geometric graphic print for shorts and shirts that works well. The elbow-length wide-sleeve shirts can't be worn by everyone, but they are still an admirable tweak on classic design. Where the collection goes a little wild is with the knee-length, double-breasted suit jackets, especially when they are paired with shorts.
Who knows, maybe the knee-length suit jacket is the next thing. In any case, it's nice to see such an unabashedly creative talent making a big name in the world of fashion.
