This American fashion designer has worked for the likes of Ralph Lauren, J Crew and Madewell, but the Tim Hamilton Spring 2011 newest collection is more avant-garde than his previous gigs.
At first glance, the collection may seem like your typical haute-preppy fashion collection, but after viewing the half-jackets, sock booties, skin-tight pants and Victorian lace-up shorts, you’ll realize that the Tim Hamilton Spring 2011 collection is more Rick Owens than Ralph Lauren -- or maybe it’s the perfect blend of both.
