Fashion is all about taking a piece and making it your own. It's about personal style and small touches that make a look unique and you. Yet, it's still interesting to see the inspiration behind a collection or label and to see what original visual concepts the designers and creative minds had for the collection. Check out Pencey's newest look-book of 'California hippie-chic meets mid-west fashion plate' pieces right here and see the creative inspirations behind this label for yourself! Casual knit and denim pieces are sexy, but laid-back with a touch of sweet femininity and lots of daring. The model seems to fit the overall aesthetic that Pencey is going for, with windblown, sunkissed hair and a killer tan, although the make-up is extremely reminiscent of Ke$ha and I'm not sure if that's a good thing. Striking edgy poses on a nonchalant walk through a sunny ghost town, faux-Ke$ha does an amazing job capturing the feel and look of this Pencey collection.
