Velvet 2009 Dec. Photoshoot

This is one intimidating photoshoot, but at least it’s delivering a dose of inspiration on a night when we’ll scream if we see another plaid jacket or woolen cap. Matthew Brookes brought his multi-country, multi-culture approach to a rich tapestry of an editorial for Italian mag Velvet. The beach background also reminds us of the desert and Moroccan-inspired collections. Raf Simmons, Dr. Martin, and Paul Smith all play here. [via hypebeast]
