*A lookbook is a collection of images to show a style or aesthetic. Often used as a kind of diary, lookbooks distill the zeitgeist of fashion for a particular year, month or season, showing texture, color, lighting, attitude, atmosphere and cultural influences. Whether virtual or actual, lookbooks are made up of pictures to get the point across. Like mood boards, they can encompass many sorts of disparate elements into a collage of visual ideas. They can be simple or complex.
Curated by Maxim Schmidt & Martha Willette Lewis.
