The Free People September 2012 lookbook takes a different turn for the fall season. In place of the typical nature-loving imagery, the photoshoot has been captured in a [bustling metropolis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-the-city). Considering that the outfits are less bohemian and more city chic, this change of setting is much more appropriate.

Model Martha Hunt has been cast as a stylish it-girl in the Free People September 2012 lookbook. The [street style snaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knys-fall-2025) capture her impeccable fashion sense while also playing up her obvious celebrity status. Fellow paparazzi crop up from time to time throughout this voyeur perspective, which has been perfectly crafted by photographer Guy Aroch. From [edgy daytime ensembles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2) to sexy nighttime dresses, no one seems to be able to take their eyes off of Hunt.
