The Kris Van Assche AW13 collection targets two kinds of man: the lazy bum and the ambitious tycoon. More than that, it calls to the man who feels caught in the middle between these two very different paths. For the guy who would forever prefer to stay in limbo, the Kris Van Assche AW13 collection gives him that opportunity in the form of hybrid pantsuits.
Presented during the Paris Fashion Week (PFW), the Kris Van Assche AW13 collection revolves around dapper blazers that have been cross-sectioned with classic sweatshirt materials, complete with logos. Whether this comfy material makes an appearance in the mid-section of the suit or takes over the complete top half, it makes a huge impact on the designs.
