Seems like the [vampire phase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colourpop-x-twilight) will never come to an end, just look at the Complot AW/10 campaign. The shoot takes on a [dark, gothic setting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midnightblack-collection) that perfectly complements the edgy, punk clothing.

What I particularly like about the Complot A/W 10 collection is their combination of [feminine features and masculine details](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren). By contrasting floral, frilly prints with heavy boots and a dark palette, the Complot A/W 10 line instantly catches your eye.
