Annalisa Dunn and Dorothee Hagemann, the faces behind the London-based label Cooperative Designs, have done it again. Sticking with their usual theme of tribal-influenced knits, they've upped the ante this time around with the Fall/Winter 2010 collection filled with slouchy layers and trendy crop tops that balance out the hard-to-handle graphic prints.
The Cooperative Designs models were topped off with oversized scarves, black lipstick, and barely-there faces masked with extreme bangs and avant-garde headgear.
