The clothing line Young & Restless is a collaborative effort by designer Ashburn Eng and Singaporean label Max.tan, and its fall pieces are somewhere between Sherlock Homes and Superman.
The pieces are mostly caped dresses that show asymmetry in rich colors. The multi-purpose drapes can be used as hoods, capes, scarves or whatever one's imagination permits, which will definitely come in handy for any unpredictable autumn weather.
For its Autumn/Winter 2010 lookbook, Young & Restless has opted for minimalism to emphasize the heavy fabrics used to make the clothing.
