In true absurdity, but to absolutely opulent results, the obese.plein spring/summer 2013 lookbook features dramatically masked models boasting some the upcoming season's darkest styles. Making use of asymmetrically-pleasing lines and off-kilter skirts, the collection is rather dark, but makes use of simplistically shimmering materials for more enlightened accents.
What pops out most in this lookbook is the masks that each model has donned, but it's far too much like the Maison Martin Margiela technique that removes the identity of the models for a more concentric focus on the clothing. Although suitable, it's clear it has already been done.
With that said, the collection is exquisitely styled to create a set of looks that are easily interchanged and blended with each other. Make note of the eccentric wedges that each model is wearing because they're likely to be the biggest hit in the line.
