The Digitaria Fall 2011 lookbook shows off muted black and gray fashion from the Mind Over Matter collection. Photographer Yiorgros Mavropoulos captures model Aris Athan for the pictorial in an array of oversized pleated trousers, hooded coats, pullover sweaters and short pants. Some of the particularly compelling pieces include a formal blazer with an embedded belt that wraps around the chest and waist, a quilted shimmery hood and a pullover with intricate geometric cutouts.
The super-loose outfits are paired with well-worn combat boots in the Digitaria Fall 2011 lookbook, a style choice that evokes a dystopian, almost post-apocalyptic world in which the surviving individuals must wear whatever fashion they can find -- even if it isn't tailored to their precise measurements.
