The RATS Fall/Winter 2012 lookbook shows off the brand's signature [dark and grungy fashion styling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5). The lookbook, named BADMOON RISING after the CCR single, is shot on [city streets in black and white](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackeyepatch-winter), which conveys the night time, underground vibe of the collection.

The collection itself includes a range of different types of jackets from waist-length trench coats to jean jackets and leather jackets. The RATS Fall/Winter 2012 collection also includes some great accessories, like an anchor pendant necklace and a skull ring.

RATS creates its clothes around the concept of the underbelly of life -- life isn't always pretty and fashion shouldn't be either. The models in the RATS Fall/Winter 2012 lookbook are seen drinking in the city streets, which is illegal in many places but, at least RATS ensure you look good doing it.
