— June 11, 2010 — Pop Culture
Jasmin Isabel Eckerle and Marcel Singer of the German fashion design team that make up Garland Coo have created a collection that aims to subvert the stereotypes surrounding the Black Forest in Germany.

The duo also took photos and styled this Dazed & Confused feature. Using ghostly makeup, monochromatic costumes and wild hair, the latest avant-garde collection by Garland Coo strikes a chord with the paranormal.
