These ridiculous mismatched looks display an alternative approach to fashion. While most designers focus upon expertly mixing outfits in a covert manner, these ensembles, editorials and collections have brandished just the opposite. Bold leopard prints and confusing criss-cross patterns have been deemed to go well togethere here, and have even been preferred by teams of stylists, photographers and writers.
Mixed kaleidoscope apparel and clashing culture couture are only some of the productions that have come to characterize this style realm. Models are frequently assuming a variety of intentionally clashing ensembles, managing to pull off some incredibly perplexing pieces. These flashy and often colorful displays do an excellent job of captivating the attention of viewers, bringing success to publication-based marketing campaigns.
