The [Victorinox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorinox-alox-refined-collection) AW11 line is an awesome array of rustic Swiss lifestyle clothing that was designed by Christopher Raeburn. With its inspiration drawn from the [Swiss Army](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swiss-army-knife) Knife brand, the collection is ruggedly chic.

The Victorinox AW11 wouldn't be complete without the addition of a Swiss Army Knife; the one included has a rustic, worn-out look. The garments look like they were meant for outdoor exploration -- it's fashion that needs to be taken outdoors.
