Unexpected colour combinations are my current obsession du jour. This particular shot comes from the Gary Bigeni show during RAFW (who else?). I love it when you pair shades with another that are sometimes non-harmonious - like peachy pink and fire engine red for example. What impact, what entrance! They don't have to be neon brights - although extra points for fluoro colour blocking - they just have to be a little disparate. Think rusty orange and cerulean blue, or hot pink and oatmeal bran. One colour feeds off the other - how that red does pop beside the washed out peach, how a bright pink is transformed by a neutral - and suddenly you have an outfit that is so much more than the sum of its parts. Sure, you could have worn a grey tee shirt with those red pants, but aren't you glad you didn't?
