# Modern Bombshells Clifton Parker & Robert Shields' 'La Femme Fatale' is Hot By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-07-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robert-shields-la-femme-fatale References: [cliftonparker](http://www.cliftonparker.com) & [robshields.net](http://www.robshields.net/index.htm) We’re all familiar with the images of bombshells from the [film noir era](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) through the 70s, but Robert Shields and Clifton Parker’s ‘La Femme Fatale’ photo set captures their [modern-day equivalent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity). To my surprise, she’s an emo hipster. Or at least dresses like one—right down to the disaffected stare. And Robert Shields and Clifton Parker’s ‘[La Femme Fatale](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/La-Femme-Fatale/263538)’ also has destructive tendencies, although she’s a bit more likely to use a remotely-detonated car bomb than a gun or dram of poison.
