Dreary Dark Lookbooks

The Zofia Chylak Collection Includes Somber Advertisements

— March 14, 2013 — Fashion
The Zofia Chylak collection has been made on behalf of the breakout fashion designer. Chylak is different from the rest insofar as her academic background goes. In place of a textile degree is her art history education.

Chylak incorporates elements of her knowledge of art history into her apparel. It follows that her current lookbook is exceptionally dramatic and dark, like many of the pieces that she studied.

Presented within these dark images are flowing silk dresses, heavy outerwear and thin oxford shirts. These are furthermore paired with dainty accessories, apparent in the simple flats and low to the ground heels. These choices were simplified with few if any pieces of jewelry, proving that little is needed here.
