Color Blocking #411
Color blocking is arguably one of the most popular trends this Spring/Summer. It consists of using three different and seemingly conflicting colors to complete one very cohesive look. Do it right, and it looks fabulous and chic; do it wrong, and it looks like a kaleidoscope. The secret to perfect color blocking is using the color wheel.
The following colors will always flow beautifully:
- Colors directly next to each other
- Colors directly across from each other
- Colors that form right (90 degrees) angles with each other
- Colors that form a T
- Colors that form an X
Below are some of our favorite examples. What do you think? Are they color blocking or color blinding?
Far East Love Affair
“Fashion’s love-affair with the Far East blooms this summer with an array of silky, decadent and exotic designs. Crisp and modern silhouettes are festooned with oriental sprays; while kimonos, warriors and fans inspire this summer’s hottest wardrobe additions. It’s all in the detail, whether wrap fronts, collarless jackets or lantern sleeved dresses, it is a celebration of all the spring/summer 11 hot trends – floral, utility, 70s – which is why there is something for everyone.” -luluscouture
From Runway to Everyday - celebrate the artistry and grace of the Far East.
- Keep your fabrics lightweight and silky or tough and textured.
- Play with volume and mix boxy silhouettes with breezy palazzo pants and lantern sleeves, cinched with a statement obi belt.
- Colours should be crisp ebony and white, rich and decadent brights or delicate pastels.
- Inject metallics into your look with your accessories and jewellery.
- Go for orchid, lily, iris and hibiscus floral prints.
- Shoes should be vertiginous platforms or doll-like slippers.
- Classic wrap tops are the perfect way to get the look at work.
- Don’t be afraid to clash feminine floral prints with more geometric patterns.
- Accessorise with fan-inspired accessories.
