Although this clothing line isn't actually designed after the famous singer/songwriter, it definitely looks as if it borrowed a page from Mr. Costello's closet. The Native Son Autumn 2010 Collection was designed by Kyle Fitzgibbons and offers a simple yet refined look that has an element of geeky coolness to it.
Maybe it's just the glasses and the hair, but the Native Son Autumn 2010 Collection reminds me of 1960s British fashion. While there is an element of nostalgia in the line, there is enough fresh style offered to make this collection a shoe-in for next biggest fashion trend of 2010.
