Unearthly Creature of a Dream is a stunning photographic series of the [Scott Park SS2011](http://scottpark.net) collection that is surreal, but breathtaking. This eccentric shoot boasts a vintage look due to expert lighting techniques and photo finishes. Yet there is something futuristic about its tone as well, despite its archaic styling both aesthetically and fashionably.
