The Maniamania lookbook features some intricately posed shots with a [dark grungy feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection). With its dark-lit setting and foggy atmosphere, the prints definitely remind its audience of the local grungy bar many have come across sometime in their nightlife adventures.
