Although fall is coming to an end, I feel that I have stumbled upon these H Fredriksson Fall 2009 images at just the right moment. Although, according to Fab Sugar, she was inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s psychoanalytic films, they scream Halloween to me.
Dark and moody, with a perfect graveyard-esque backdrop, the H Fredriksson Fall 2009 collection lends an edgier take on the whimsical fabrics and structures she used. This is a line I can see Mary-Kate Olsen donning, and reminds me of the Romance Gothic era.
