Urban Outfitters' Work of Art Look Book

Hipster mecca Urban Outfitters has debuted their winter look book, and it suffices to say they’re letting their colors show. The store quite literally highlighted their favorite looks for the season, swapping out scenic backgrounds for multicolored brush strokes that envelop (and occasionally obscure) each model. Impressively, every piece of clothing manages to stand out in this color collage — after all, it’s hard for gold lamé and leopard print to fade into the background.

So, what’s in Urban Outfitters stores this season? It looks like ladies and gents will be dabbling in lots of textures and patterns, with winter staples like knobby knit sweaters and Fair Isle prints layered over seemingly impractical cold-weather picks like crop tops, minis, and those fantastically fringed shorts. (We’ll find an excuse to wear them, no matter the weather.) And get ready to pop champagne all winter long — if Urban Outfitters’ love affair with sequins (spotted on platforms, sweaters, mini dresses, and skirts) is any indication, New Year’s Eve celebrations aren’t going into hibernation any time soon.

Hey, this look book is no Monet, but we think it makes a lasting impression. What's your take on Urban Outfitters' wearable art?
