While many fashion labels are channeling the refined eras of the 20s and 60s for the coming year, other brands are working to balance out the scene with oddball, casualwear such as that seen throughout the CTRL SS12 Womens catalog. As though inspired by the quirky styles of Japan, this Finland-based fashion house has put together a line that is as much fun as it is comfortable.
