Inspiration: YDE 2009 Winter Collection

(...sometimes you come across another blogger's post that you just know you have to add to your own; that is what happened when I saw the lovely Sarah from Haute Design's post about this fabulous designer house, YDE. Do enjoy and hop over to Sarah's blog for more inspirational photographs from this featured collection! Thanks, Sarah!)
