24 | April 2013 www.womanthismonth.com Fashion Mixing and matching colours is tough work and putting patterns together is almost an impossible mission, but a designer’s creative mind and skilled vision can make it a reality. Find inspiration, and a keen eye, by mixing colour combinations and patterns. Some safe fashion rules say that if you pick one patterned piece, then you must go simple and neutral with the other pieces. This season, some designers are saying the opposite: mix and match similar motifs or colours and go wild. At first you think this will never have a happy outcome. However, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Dries Van Noten revealed in their fashion shows that it is possible, and that the look is actually unique and outstanding. You can carry off the look by wearing a dress or top with the patterns already mixed, or when layering different designs in shirts, skirts, jackets and accessories.
