mixing patterns - chapter 2

Power of pattern clothing is rather obvious these days. There is no other way to build convincingly strong look with little effort. And when you start playing with mixing patterns it's always about being as bold as brass even if you usually do not act like someone essentially brave. Probably that's why I like it so much and admire people who use that strategy in their fashion statements.

As it turns out, dealing with interesting patterns could also be one of cleverest ways to break into the industry. This is definitely the case of Holly Fulton - Scottish from origin, up-and-coming designer who produces really specific and intricate prints taking her inspirations mainly from Art Deco style and putting them into very up-to-date urban look which is finished with exquisite jewellery (you can read here about what she is telling about her craftsmanship). With some pretty good reviews she is on her way to establish competitive label. Let's all keep our fingers crossed - what we can see now looks very promising.






Speaking of mixing patterns, the performance delivered by Louise Gray - Holly Fulton's compatriot, sharing her hopes of becoming significant figure in the industry - seems to be comparably accomplished and quite cheerful at the same time. Thoughts that she takes her cue from Madame Westwood come easily to our minds and that can be some sort of compliment for sure. However the way she is struggling with crazy fabrics deserves at least few words of admiration considering her individuality. Anyway fun is the thing she is mainly aiming at and it's fun indeed what leaves us with the certainty she will succeed eventually.
