When I first looked through the Sophomore Spring 2010 [campaign images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles), I honestly thought it was just a bunch of friends goofing off. It’s very reminiscent from the campaign Trend Hunter covered in which the designer had her actual [friends model her designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-your-own-time).

I totally get it though. Why not have a quirky, laid back shoot for a [quirky, laid back line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-charm-collection)? I mean, that’s certainly what the Sophomore Spring 2010 collection is.
