Making its mark at London Fashion Week, the Matthew Miller Fall/Winter 2013 collection showcased urban attire for the style-conscious pessimist. Sporting leather tees, oversized coats and sweatshirts donning the logo "Born to Fail," models were stoic and serious as they took to the runway stage.
This sleek collection features versatile and multi-functional casuals perfect for the life of a city dweller. Serving as a social commentary on today's media-obsessed generation of youth, the Matthew Miller Fall/Winter 2013 collection explores a dark style aesthetic.
Dressed in a palette of mostly black tones, models redefine simplistic dressing by adding a flair of youthful modernity to traditionally casual pieces. These minimalist garments are further enhanced by bright logo lettering, belted harnessing details and ombre knit designs.
