There is a serenity to the Shades of Grey by Micah Cohen SS14 lookbook that owes itself to the seashore setting of Southern California. A picturesque backdrop for the contemporary designs put on display, the looks standout, but not as much as one would expect. Instead, they stand out just enough to get noticed in the right ways.
Shot by photographer Mike Carreiro, the Shades of Grey by Micah Cohen SS14 lookbook highlights garments that were inspired by athletic and lounge wear. Loose yet tailored, minimalist yet full of details, the pieces boast a smart use of chambray, suede and lightweight linen that is perfect for the upcoming warmer seasons. Titled 'Spring Forward,' the catalog encourages clean looks that are stylishly versatile. The collection is full of staples.
