The Los Angeles based retail store Myrtle has released a muted, tomboy-inspired lookbook for its Fall/Winter 2012 collection. The clothing hub assembles pieces from the lines of Ermie, Elkin, Feral Childe and Samantha Pleet to name a few, making it a one stop shop for this in search of an eclectic boutique.
The young women in this Myrtle Fall/Winter 2012 display let their hair down, both literally and figuratively. They are anything but phased by the camera as they posed confidently sans makeup, leaning up nonchalantly against cracked concrete walls and weathered wood doors.
This no-nonsense approach to fashion is refreshing. Myrtle sticks to the basics, showcasing the brand's collection of apparel without the need or desire to embellish the clothing with elaborate backdrops or cosmetics.
