There is something slightly off-kilter about the Urban Outfitters Spring 2011 lookbook. I think it has something to do with the artist behind the photoshoot.
Created by controversial writer, director and producer Harmony Korine, the Urban Outfitters Spring 2011 lookbook has definitely taken on a artsy feel. Although the shots are classic enough, the superimposed brush marks are a new and interesting detail. Overall, I like the direction they have taken. It's always nice to shake things up a bit.
