Homeless-Chic Menswear

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Bernhard Willhelm Fall/Winter 2012 is Perplexing Mix of Style

— January 24, 2012 — Fashion
Possibly the craziest collection you’ll see all year, the new Bernhard Willhelm Fall/Winter 2012 collection mixes rugged worker style with homeless chic in this strange lineup of tattered styles. Featuring garments with cutout sections and fringe made by taking a pair of scissors to the pieces and slicing them up, this line features daring pieces made for those who don’t mind walking around half-naked.

Bold tribal patterns and animal prints are just a few of the busy designs you’ll find in this diverse range of striking styles. Paint splatters and fishing boots make this collection seem like the kind of rags you want to wear when you’re doing a dirty job -- except they’re designer. So if you’re looking for a collection that is almost too bizarre for words, then the Bernhard Willhelm Fall/Winter 2012 line should definitely have the pieces you’re looking for.
