En gang imellem opdager man en egenskab hos andre, som man ville ønske man selv havde fordi den simpelthen giver så meget mening at besidde. Sådan en egenskab har jeg opdaget hos dronningen af spændende outfits, Susie Bubble, og den egenskab er.. at mikse prints og mønstre! Jeg troede ellers at det ville ligge til min person at have den egenskab og at være god til det, men så snart jeg vil give mig til at sammensætte mine outfits, kan jeg, af uvisse årsager, slet ikke få det til at hænge sammen, at der kan være flere prints på kroppen samtidigt. Derfor har jeg bakset en lille collage sammen af ret så interessante looks fra catwalken og fra Susies arkiver for at inspirere mig (og jer) en smule til hvordan man kan smide sådanne print-på-print-looks sammen. Jeg har opdaget, at idéen bag det hele er at tage enten et grafisk print som tern eller striber og dertil kan man føje et hvilket som helst print; eller at sætte et mindre print sammen med et større, så det skaber en smule dynamik og ikke bliver for forvirrende. Mh, hvor må jeg hellere prøve at begive mig lidt mere udi mønstermikseriet – mon ikke det er en egenskab, jeg kan tillægge mig, nu hvor min garderobe alligevel er så fyldt med prints? Og hvordan har I det med konceptet?
Once in a while you notice a quality in an other person that you with you had yourself, because it just makes so much sense to be able to posses. I noticed such a quality in the queen of awesome styling, Susie Bubble, and it is.. being able to mix prints and patterns! I thought that it would be something that I would be able to do with ease, but as soon as I stand in front of my wardrobe, trying to complete a print mix outfit, I never really feel like it works out, wearing multiple prints. So I did a little collage with quite interesting looks from the catwalk and from Susie’s archives to inspire myself (and you) as to how you do such print-on-print looks. I noticed that the idea behind it all is either doing a graphic print on one piece like tartan or stripes and then you can add pretty much any other print; or mixing up the size of the print, having a smaller one and a bigger one, so that it becomes more dynamic and less confusing. Mh, I need to try this out – I mean, I should be able to pull print mixing off considering how many printed pieces my wardrobe contains! How are your thoughts on the concept?
