The For Love & Lemons Pre-Fall 2013 lookbook might take place in a quintessential '50s diner, but the retro setting doesn't necessarily extend to the fashion being showcased. While elements are there in the form of an [a-line mini skirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-drama-school) and lacy fabric, overall the outfits are completely [contemporary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity). [Femininely edgy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren), the stylist managed to straddle the line between youthful and tough as though depicting the female version of James Dean.

Lensed by photographer Zoey Grossman, the For Love & Lemons Pre-Fall 2013 lookbook was inspired by the cult classic film 'Cry-Baby,' starring Johnny Dep. As Fashion Gone Rogue aptly puts it, "By day, Daria is a preppy dream in demure white and pastel hues. But by night, her rebellious side comes out with electric hues and dark, skin-baring silhouettes."
