The gender-neutral train continues to chug along with Lina Österman's Fall 2009 collection. Picking up where she left off for S/S '09, Österman's fall line contains black separates that contain a distinct Gothic influence.
Lina Österman's Fall 2009 line blends leather, lace and studs--in black, of course--in gender-neutral fashions modeled by androgynous men. My favorite look from Österman's line are the leggings in the last image, which are dotted at the knees with a square of studs.
