Mira Nameth is the photographer behind Innocence and Arsenik's Fall 2009 lookbook, and it's a gorgeous series of images. The collection maximizes the shimmer of satin, the beauty of draping and the magic that can be achieved by pairing feminine silhouettes with a thick, masculine belt.
Although the whole of Innocence and Arsenik's Fall 2009 lookbook is worth a look, I'm most taken by the first image, in which a satin dress with long, kimono-like sleeves is paired with a wide gladiator belt. Talk about a juxtaposition of cultures and centuries!
