Blame it on the economy, the stratospheric cost of crude oil, the Tibet-China crisis on the eve of the Olympics, or the general looming threat of global annihilation, but fashion is in a dark mood this season.

From New York to Paris, Armani to Vuitton, Amanda to Toni, V53 spins through the looks and the faces that matter, leaving no stone unturned. We're shining a light on some of the darkest (and most brilliant) clothes around.
