The Long Wild Side–Exotic prints and textiles lend James Long’s trademark knits a fresh breath of air for the spring 2012 showing. Paired with shorting looks and reptile-printed sandals, a make-shift man of sophistication finds a charming spontaneity with a walk on the wild side. From cream-colored knits, dressed in foliage or a blend of distressed prints to adorn shirting, Long finds a strong stride for his latest collection. A well-rounded outing, complete with accessible essentials such as cuffed shorts and fitted trousers, the range also manages the bold with metallic finishes for a successful spring presentation.
