Proving once again that the fashion world can be a bloody place, this collection of photoshoot includes blood and miscellaneous mayhem.

Personally, I think the [graphic of the Olsen twin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection) with the saying “Let Them Eat Kate” is a great commentary on size zeroes. I’m not sure about [fingers bloodied from wearing jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aprs-x-liquid-death), gunshots to the chest, and [bloody feet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horrific-crocs).

I’m not sure I like this. However, blood red is a nice color and I like Bloody Marys. So maybe I will eventually learn to love these freaky photoshoots.
