Patches of Everything F/W 08.09

[saann]

this is also a continuing trend from Spring.. Great mix of prints, colour blocks and materials creating an almost chaotic look

bold blocks of different colours
mismatch prints and patterns
rough texture alongside smooth
shine against dull fabrics

EVERYTHING -all into one​

I hate "matchy-matchy" outfits but i also hate clashing patterns. i hope this trend doesn't become more popular than it already is.

I think it's lovely

I really like when it's done with bits of one-coloured pieces breaking the "business" of the prints combined

^I think there is a general, strong patchwork trend going on in Madrid and London
I put the links to the collections under the labels there
You can see common theme of clashing everything... clashing prints as well as clashing colour blocks
