Colour expresses you and your identity
Texture
The best thing to do is think about it in five different key elements. Texture’s super-important, whether it be embroidery, print, a little bit of vintage. I think it really brings your character out.
Pattern
If you’ve got a level of pattern or embroidery or print on your garment, (lose ‘and’) it’s just more interesting than a plain block colour.
Colour
Colour expresses you and your identity. If you pop a bit of black with a bit of red, a bit of brightness on your nails, and it’s great - you’re winning.
Shape
If you got a bit of shape coming in here, or here or here, it’s representing the woman that you are. So the more you’ve got your shoulders drooped, you’ve got your hips popping, you’ve got your slim-line with a platform and a heel, then you’re laughing.
Details
