The Obscure Couture SS 2012 lookbook is spunky and filled with alternative inspirations. The series is rich with 90s influence, with reflective figure-skater materials in a myriad of silhouettes and platform shoes. The models boast bold brows, candied cheeks and rainbow tresses. The models exhibit extremely forward fashion styles, typical of the youthful company. Memorable pieces include the crop crew neck with metallic red underarm detailing, the paint speckled leotard and the plastic-like black maxi dress with red tube detailing.
Obscure Couture was nominated as young designer of the year at Scottish Fashion Week 2011. As read on the site, the company aims to create "street/stagewear for the introverted extrovert." Completely avoiding mass-production, OC individually numbers each limited edition piece. The SS 2012 collection invites you to, "Make your other clothes jealous."
