The Alexander Lewis Resort Collection is Made for Urban Chic Athletes
Meghan Young — October 15, 2014 — Fashion
Representing 'a clash of cultures,' the Alexander Lewis Resort 2014 collection is inspired by Asian expats and surfers. This may come as a bit of a surprise for those familiar with Alexander Lewis. A Brazilian fashion designer based in London, England, the line could have easily followed that culture clash instead.
Minimalist, urban and slightly futuristic, the Alexander Lewis Resort 2014 collection juxtaposes shibori dyeing techniques with board shorts and surfboard-shaped seams. Full of sleek lines and bright colors, modern women will be instantly attracted to the direction of the Alexander Lewis Resort 2014 collection. Although there is an innate sense of sophistication about the designs, there is also feminine youthfulness present by way of crop tops, mini skirts and floral patterns.
