Check out this Swedish designer Lamija Suljevic's collection from Fall/Winter 2010.  She's a fashion designer born in Bosnia but based in Stockholm - Sweden. The collection looks very tailored and has beautiful shapes. Her main inspiration for the collection was her hometown, her past & her lost childhood. "It's important to me that my garments are something more than just a garment on a hanger. They should tell a story."

I'm loving this series from Michael David Adams ! It's killing me. The styling...the obscured faces...the tonal depth of the black and white photography...so good! The last one is especially striking, I can't stop looking at it.
