With all the graphic and optical goodies that the catwalk is offering lately, it's easy to forget that inspiration can come from anywhere. Take a look at these breathtakingly beautiful and hauntingly stark images by LA based photographer Nicholas Alan Cope.

If only I could pull an outfit together that was as minimally cool and hard edged as these images... It would make me a very happy girl.




This all just makes me want to get out my camera and explore.
