Fashion lookbooks usually involve makeup artists, hairstylists, lighting, sets and fancy cameras. Scott Sternberg and his company Band of Outsiders has a habit of ignoring all of that, and for his Fall/Winter 2009 lookbook he did it again, photographing a [casually dressed Marisa Tomei](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galleria-handbag).

The lookbook by Scott Sternberg was shot by the designer himself using an old [Polaroid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/for-the-rebel-rebels) camera. I love the results; the lookbook is a grainy and fun collection of images that seem modernly retro (if that’s possible). Indeed they are a Band of Outsiders.
