These apply to fashion, home decor, magazine covers, scrapbook layouts, etc. Women's colours “Designers take a painterly approach to fall 2011 by artfully combining bright colors with staple neutrals, reminiscent of how an artist would construct a stunning work of art,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Much like a painter's masterpiece, there is a certain romance to this season's palette.” Do click on the picture above for the full readup!But if you're lazy, here's a summary!

Came across this "Step-by-Step" How to wear stuff by Park&Cube.
She's a Korean designer who enjoys "twirling spools of ribbons for DIY projects" (quoted from her blog) I like how she recreates the gentlemen-clean style by the Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson in the British synth-pop group Hurts (by the way, Hurts was in Singapore for a concert last month) Do pop over her blog to take a look at her "recreations" from Hurts new music video "Better than Love" Pictures from "How to wear stuff" by Park&Cube Simple yet timeless. |
