Clashing prints Not for the faint hearted and definitely not for the trend follower, the concept behind clashing prints creates an unusal aesthetic, a sense of unfamiliarity that is not instantly desirable yet leaves the audience thinking.

11 Deconstruction Renowned for the art of deconstrutcion, fashion icons Rei Kawakubo and John Galliano at Comme des Garcons and Maison Margiela respectively has been challenging the fashion world with their experimental designs. Deconstruction is an art form that illustrates the rawness and construction origins of a garment where commonly neat finishes of a garment is left raw and can be interpreted in other ways.

It is most seen in the unfinished hems of a tailored Comme jacket or a deconstructed piece of Margiela’s work for the fashion avant garde aficionados.
