Pamela Love teamed up with Zac Posen to create this fantasy-ridden Victorian goth collection. The collection featured a raw toughness through chokers, cuffs, earrings, brooches, headpieces, belts, and other accessories.
The Fall/Winter '09 collection will have fashionistas lining up at stores in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia beginning in the upcoming fall season.
