Textures & Patterns

BY VANGARDE GIRL NELLE, FEBRUARY 22, 2010

Mixing textures and patterns have become one of my specialties.  On day three of New York Fall 2011 Fashion Week I wore a faux fur dress, plaid coat and sheer leopard patterned tights.  My ensemble received numerous compliments amongst fellow style-istas at Lincoln Center and Milk Studios.  A girl came up to me and said "can I get a picture of you? I thought I looked great until I saw your outfit." I was pretty flattered.  However, outside of the cool kids crowd I was given a few blank stares.  I quickly dusted that dirt off my shoulder.  The way I see it getting dressed is an art form; clothes are tools and your body a blank canvas.  Next time you get dressed aim to create a masterpiece.
