For their latest collection, ASOS looks to English styling and the idea of a summer spent by the shore for inspiration. Drawn to colors and patterns reminiscent of a Cuban holiday, the range encompasses a laid-back lifestyle that blends the casual with more finished pieces. Unstructured blazers are paired with both brogues and gladiator sandals, while batik prints add a bold element to summer shorts. Taking on a mix of inspiration, a nod to the suburbia of the 1950’s can be found in sunglasses, while a preppy mix of trousers and polo shirts reference the 1990’s. Dressed in an array of both warm and grounded colors, ASOS’ latest range sets the stage for a season of casual, yet chic styling.

Devin Childers made a strong and memorable debut in 2009. During spring fashion week, Devin walked Z Zegna, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Kenzo. Calvin Klein made sure they got their hands on Devin first, booking him for their CK spring collection campaign, photographed by Craig McDean. The following season, Devin caught everyone’s attention at Missoni and became the face of the label. With an impressive debut year, this young American is one to watch and is likely to take the industry by storm with his classic good looks and charm.
