The Age of Innocence online editorial, which was shot exclusively for Fashion Gone Rogue, was inspired by Sofia Coppola's 'The Virgin Suicides.' [Whimsically dark](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) and dreamily melancholy, it is hard to tell whether this damsel really is in distress or is simply succumbing to her pensive mood for the moment rather than for a lifetime, which could very well end prematurely.

Lensed by Sydney-based photographer Zanita Morgan, model Jordan Murray embraces a sad soul with stoic expressions and listless poses. Whether swinging in the park or reading on concrete steps, nothing appears to cheer her up. Not even the [soft feminine wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) that is comprised of labels such as Zimmermann, Fleur Wood and Friend of Mine.
