BCBGMaxAzria Goes Grunge for Fall 2013

BCBGMaxAzria is heading back to the early 90s with the Fall/Winter 2013 collection.  Long loose tunics and dresses, accompanied with skinny jeans and sloppy styles gives off a grungy vibe, though definitely more updated.  The look is a little neater, more hipster, but definitely not for everyone.  Colour-wise, there is an emphasis once again, on […]
