First of all, words can not describe how much I am in love with this dark, sleek collection. Second–is there anyone else that can’t help but think of The Volturi<\/a> (yes, that’s a Twilight reference) when they look at these images, or is it just me?<\/p>\n

And while I usually don’t favor something so understated, I was taken aback by the simple yet stark, sophisticated beauty of this collection.<\/p>\n

With the market so inundated with “dark” imagery–bedazzled crosses, “witchy” hems, and an endless sea of skull print (granted, I love some of it, but so many<\/em> brands get it wrong)–it’s about time we see prominent designers re-injecting goth style with a much-needed touch of class. If not to overshadow all the cheese showing up in stores, at least to add more variety.<\/p>\n
