Trend Alert: Dark Academia

What's your aesthetic? For those who are drawn to old world academia, literature, philosophy and romanticising knowledge, this is the one for you. A perfect match to characters in books such as Donna Tartt's The Secret History, this aesthetic marries the look of old leather books with a mysterious edge. Think traditionalism but with a twist.
