Boys 4 Girls, The pounding music that almost blew the fashionista's off their seats was no distraction when viewing this multi facted collection from Xander Zhou. With gender duality, the styling twists of layering, long sleeves, mix n match his and hers or 'theirs' makes this a key trend barometer collection for Menswear 'street' culture wear.
