So, clashing designs and cultured patterns have always been a major theme in my wardrobe, especially in the warmer and sunnier seasons, so this workshop has really stood out for me as a key starting point for my next, partnered project. I thought I should look into possible designers who are unique and have a specific way of clashing the clothing so somehow, the outfit still looks effective and definitely purchasable.
Designers I came across were:
- Todd Oldham
- Miu Miu
- Moschino; specifically early 90s – early 2000’s (obviously)
- Vintage Versace
- Vivienne Westwood
- Alexander McQueen
- Burberry
I class a good “clash” to be anything from the colours, patterns and even possible embroidery / gems within the clothing, even as broad as the shaped holes made in some clothing designers. Its something that only certain people have the eye for, and I feel is maybe the hardest element of becoming a stylist – as the appearance is meant to be noticeable, yet seriously not over the top.
