The Nomia Fall/Winter 2010 collection by Brooklynite Yara Flinn meshed two barely-there trends: sheer fabrics and cut-outs. However, the collection as a whole is simple and elegant, despite the cut-out/sheer combo that might have you thinking of trashy fashions. Even the sheer sans-bra crop top in the look book maintains its dignity, class and style.
The Nomia Fall/Winter 2010 collection doesn't leave much up to the imagination. See more shots of it above.
