The creator of the goodie-filled Luxirare blog has posted an amazing dusk photoshoot called Red Hook. The shoot was shot in Red Hook, Brooklyn because apparently she used to live there for a short period. The dilapidated warehouses, factories and lonely streets serve as a perfect location for a badass shoot to occur.

Other than the eccentrically scenic locale, the Luxirare creator sports to-die-for [Margiela](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunettes-6-noires) blazers with obscenely exaggerated collars.
