While most designers select their models based on their appearance, it seems men's clothing designer Odeur wasn't interested in their models faces. Hidden beneath t-shirts, jackets and (most peculiarly) triangle hats, the models show off the clothes without showing their faces.
The Odeur photography is made extra eerie thanks to the dark colors used throughout. An interesting collection of clothes, photography and triangle hats... check it out above.
Implications - Businesses who provide their clients with products that inspire or let the imagination run wild will see large returns. By keeping part of the product or service unknown, consumers are provided the opportunity to make it their own and experience something unique and personalized.
