The For Love & Lemons Pre-Fall 2013 lookbook might take place in a quintessential '50s diner, but the retro setting doesn't necessarily extend to the fashion being showcased. While elements are there in the form of an a-line mini skirt and lacy fabric, overall the outfits are completely contemporary. Femininely edgy, the stylist managed to straddle the line between youthful and tough as though depicting the female version of James Dean.
Lensed by photographer Zoey Grossman, the For Love & Lemons Pre-Fall 2013 lookbook was inspired by the cult classic film 'Cry-Baby,' starring Johnny Dep. As Fashion Gone Rogue aptly puts it, "By day, Daria is a preppy dream in demure white and pastel hues. But by night, her rebellious side comes out with electric hues and dark, skin-baring silhouettes."
