This Glamour Germany May 2011 editorial features models Rodrigo Calazans and [Dallas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fear-of-god-essentials-x-dallas-cowboys) on the grounds of a retro hillside home. The pair fashionably clash in fashion from the likes of Jil Sander, [D&G](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dimensions-eyeshadow-palette), Sonia Rykiel, Tommy Hilfiger and Emporio Armani.

In all of the images, Calazans is smiling broadly, which is a nice touch compared to most magazine editorials; his female counterpart even flashes her pearly whites in a few photos. My favorite look from the editorial is the one in which Dallas pairs a red patterned coat atop a red, orange and yellow plaid dress. The muted orange espadrilles and red sunglasses she wears coordinate beautifully, and somehow the motley mix works from a style standpoint.

The Glamour Germany May 2011 editorial proves that this season, fashionistas should feel free to mix and match their favorite patterns and prints -- so long as their colors are in the same family, that is.
