Message: I’m different and can’t easily be boxed in. I like to express my individuality.
Colors: Mixing colors together is common, it’s about expressing unique personality and avoiding the commonplace.
Key Elements: Unusual construction and asymmetry are common. Wanting to appear unlike others and not in ‘standard chain store’ clothing. These are the pattern mixers of the world.
Textures: Unusual textures put together such as boiled wool and a fabric with sheen. All textures considered and worn, it’s how they put them together.
Patterns: Digital prints, abstract prints and wearable art (if they are not mixing prints) are the most common variants.
Accessories: Handmade and artistic (avoiding all standard jewellery stores). Shoes may be retro or quirky in shape, style and material. Handbags will be unusual – a camera bag or lunchbox as a handbag. Repurposing is something some creative’s like to do.
Grooming: Asymmetric cuts (and undercuts) unusual colors – anything that is out of the ‘boring and ordinary’.
