The Mara Hoffman [Fall 2014 collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025) is filled with exotic fashion that has been given a bit of a dark turn. This could be due in large part to the [dreamy lookbook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection) promoting the designs. Shot at dusk against a starry sky backdrop in a desert, the exotic fashion is given a mysterious undertone that many women will be drawn to for the cooler season.

Shot by photographer Olivia Malone, the exotic fashion was put together by stylist Richard Ruiz. The looks were worn by model Hanalei Reponty. From printed scarves and matching dresses to rich colors and sensual cutouts, the exotic fashion is fierce, feminine and full of mystique. It is as though the stunning collection was designed with a bohemian femme fatale in mind.
