An [eerie, abandoned setting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silent-echoes) has been created by photographer Karen Inderbitzen-Waller for NO Magazine. This lonely photo spread featuring model Nasrin Leahy definitely has all the makings of a [horror movie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heretic-parfum-nosferatu).

Leahy is shown floating in a pool of water, sitting cross-legged on a chair in what looks like an attic and poking her head creepily out from behind a curtain. Styled by Zara Mirkin, the spread showcases a mish-mash of styles including an [elegant long black dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) and a flirty country-girl frock.
