    That is such an interesting concept. I wonder why fashion would glamourize loneliness? ...maybe to add a little bit of drama and evoke empathy ...?

    Chere Carrie

    When you go for the more abstract theme and take on a bigger editorial challenge, the more your imagination is on display.

    This sort of slightly out of the ordinary post is a real delight. I can practically feel all the wildly firing neurons going off in your pretty head.

    Have a splendid day, and go look better than all the other girls...

    These editorials are evocative of social outcastness and loneliness ... successful in that sense, right?!

    Each of them evokes something different, but probably isolation (seriously, I didn´t read the title!) or sadness.

    These pictures evoke a sense of style with a twist. Maybe unconventional since it is unique and out there. I really like them.

    Isolation and fashion go hand in hand. Isn't style about being one of a kind and being away from the crowd? In true style, we stand alone, and hence the element of isolation.

    I love these images. Thanks for sharing.

    Sometimes human beings need to feel Isolation for themselves.

    I'm often obsessed with the person like an Isolated Beauty and a Lone Wolf.
