Fernando Forero, a photographer based in New York City, has put together a simple photoshoot showcasing some great fall fashion. Of course, the fashion is far from simple itself. While there is clearly a ladylike theme threaded throughout the photoshoot, a slight eccentricity is thrown into the mix to shake things up a bit.

Styled by Mauro Lagiglia, Fernando Forero's photoshoot features the chic designs of such labels as Valentino, Prada, Karan Walker and Helmut Lang. Lagiglia has interestingly paired these pieces with latex gloves, hobo hats, baseball caps and more for looks that are slightly quirky and entirely elegant.

Fernando Forero cast models Claudia Ruff and Molly Gay as the leads in his photoshoot, which was shot in studio against a grey backdrop.
