Combine colors and prints is an art. The concept of Mixed Print has been in the market for a while and it gets reinvented each season.

Idea #1 – Double Touble (Juego de Dobles)
Consiste en mezclar dos piezas del mismo tipo de estampado con diferentes colores y formas; es decir flores grandes con flores pequeñas, leopardo con zebra, cuatros con tartán, lunares grandes con pequeño, rayas anchas con finas, etc. La clave esta en buscar un tono de color que armonice los patrones; fíjense como en la primera imagen ambas tonalidades del vestido y la cartera son rosadas, igual en la combinación de cuadros; la parte de arriba contiene unos pequeños toques de rojo que acentúan la falda. Esto es jugar con los colores y crear un efecto óptico que hace que las piezas concuerden.

Idea #2 – Feline Power (Poder Felino)
Christopher Bailey nos reta a unir lo romántico con lo atrevido en esta temporada de Burberry, la combinación de animal print con corazones fue una maravilla en la pasarela. Amé esta mezcla; se ve interesante y divertido, y lo que lo hace ver menos infantil es el hecho de que los corazones son blancos en un fondo marrón que va en tono con el estampado felino. Combinarlo con otro estampado en color monocromático o con rayas o cuadros es también una buena opción.

Idea #1 – Double Touble (Juego de Dobles)

It consists in mixing two pieces of the same kind of pattern with different colors and shapes, ie large flowers with small flowers, zebra with leopard, tartan with geometrics, big polka dots with tiny polka dots, horizontal stripes with vertical stripes , etc.. The key is to find a tone of color that harmonizes the patterns, notice how in the first image both the clutch and the dress are pink, also in the bottom image, the geometric top has a few small touches of red that accentuate the skirt. This is playing with the colors and creating an optical illusion of Mixed Print that makes the pieces match.

Idea #2 – Feline Power (Poder Felino)

Christopher Bailey challenges us to combine the romantic with the audacious this season on Burberry, combining hearts shapes with animal Mixed Print was a marvel on the catwalk. I loved this mixture, it looks interesting and fun, and what makes it look less childish is the fact that the hearts are white on a brown background and that goes perfect with the print. Combining it with other monochrome colors, stripes or checks is also a good choice.
