Alexander Lewis Pre-Fall Line 2013 Blends Color and Retro Styling

His collection includes beautiful color-blocked shirts, knit sweaters, bold hats and sleek tailored suits. With lovely geometric-patterned jackets, and the combination of neutral, soft and bold colors, these pieces make for a wonderfully striking collection.
