Mother, may I have another?

The images from The Row's fall/winter lookbook are...odd...masks, dismembered baby dolls, and mother/nanny wearing a somewhat disturbing leather skirt ensemble during some home-schooling. And yet...they work...in as much as they manufacture a world which, despite your mis-givings, you wouldn't mind living in for a while. Not as much perhaps as the video for their holiday collection (for me, at least)...because, for all their whimsicality, these pictures do have an innate sense of sobriety...fetishistic pilgrims in an expensive Soho loft...and, quite honestly, I can never manage to look that "grown up".

Which is a little depressing...especially as the child is managing it...
