Ximena Etchart's 'Morbid Innocence' is a photo shoot that pits a model clad in all black in the middle of a farm. Whether she's posed blindfolded against stacked bales of hay or hula-hooping in the middle of a field, this model certainly clashes with what you'd expect someone on a farm to look like.
We've seen a renewed interest in goth fashion recently. Fueled largely by the recession, the color black has made its way onto a number of designer runways, catapulting this signature subculture style into the mainstream.
