52. Construct your own beauty. Break away from the masses and think out of the box. Use the absurd and fleeting to avoid being correct. Use colors, shapes and materials in a new context. Be individualistic and follow your imagination in a self-assured, but controlled manner. COLOURS A balancing act between pastellish colors, deep darks, and intense colors. A range to work in contrasting multicolor harmonies. FABRICS Traditional.
