Steal This look
Mix, Don't Match
Who wants to look all matchy-matchy? Go bold with some exquisite print-on-print action. Juxtapose eye-popping colors with one another for extra fashion exuberance. The only rule is that there are no rules.
Luella Bartley
It's the perfect time to resurrect those "I love it, but what do I wear it with?" pieces. Mismatched patterns and styles, such as those parading down Luella Bartley's runway, are an excellent reminder that fashion, as in life, should never be taken too seriously.
Just a few words of caution in this apparently lawless realm: First, proportion is key. It may seem like Nicole Farhi put everything but the kitchen sink into her fall looks, but she kept the silhouettes elegant and restrained. And second, confidence is the most essential element, so be sure to have fun!
On its own, this blue menagerie print dress by Mociun is a stunner. Pair it with burgundy tights, a faux leather jacket and a striped bag, and it's a masterpiece. Prints are the new blank canvas.
This oh-so-adorable silk dress by Bahar Shahpar has many praise-worthy features, such as a cinched waist, a sweetheart neckline and crossed back straps. You could, however, throw a mustard-yellow cardigan over it and put a big bow in your hair (which was all over the London runways) to boost its catwalk-readiness factor.
This sophisticated striped waistcoat by Armour Sans Anguish will add a touch of Savile Row charm to your look. But why not go for broke and pair it with a watercolor print dress and add a bow tie for good measure? Slightly Mad Hatter-ish, but in a really good way.
