I continue to be inspired by colour clashing/matching, the sort that Yves Saint Laurent was famous for and older still, I STILL continue to be haunted by these ravishing images from this old issue of Vogue Korea. In San Francisco, the mind wandered to those colours and I tried to dabble with them in my $20 outfit challenge. It's not that the colours are particularly oddball or that they are purposely clashing but that they are unexpected together but still work in a sort of uneven harmony. I'm not entirely sure whether such palettes can be designed but rather it's a case of running rampage through a fabric store and putting swatches up against each other or some sort of equivalent. Therefore, this accidental palette plagues the mind and when I received my package from Nikicio, a gem of a label that is based in Indonesia (I THINK it is my only Indonesian label find to date...), the perfect bit of pale foam green (draped front jacket) and a deep gradiated purple (wide wrap belt with rope tie) jumped out at me and cried out to be paired together with more vibrant colours...
I just can't shake these sort of palettes off so I'm hoping I'll stumble onto more of these combinations by happy accidents...
