Poisoned Ivy



I stumbled upon this young woman on my way to the young art fair “Poisoned IVY”. She wears a beautiful blue and white coloured lumberjack shirt that she wears on purpose too large. The young fashionable woman combines her lumberjack shirt with salmon skinny jeans which underline her feminine figure . For me the colour combination is quite new and extraordinary but although I usually prefer simple colours this combination is very stylish and unique. The black ballerinas with a white front are very similar to the ones that Chanel designs. The design of the ballerinas makes a simple shoe look special and stylish. She combines her fancy colourful outfit with a simple big chocolate brown leather bag that completes her clothing.
The young man on this picture wears a black v-neck shirt. At the moment they are more popular than ever among men. He combines his black shirt with chic black leather shoes and casual skinny jeans that make the outfit look more comfortable. The combination of chic elements with simple things is quite fashionable and popular.
This artist gives another example for combining chic accessories with something casual and simple. He wears a very elegant black blazer and classic shoes. He makes the outfit look more casual in combining the chic shoes and the blazer with simple blue jeans and a shirt that can be buttoned up. He prefers to leave the buttons open so the t-shirt looks like a v-neck.

My impression of the young woman on the picture is that she seems to be very elegant and creative. She combines a simple outfit using black with a colourful and unique scarf.
Using one accessory to spice a whole outfit up makes the clothing appear very elegant since you don’t use to many different elements and colours. The cut of the black coat is simple but still unusual. The rolled up sleeves appear pointy like the collar. In addition to that the collar is larger, what is very new. Another detail is, the button column that only continues up to the first half of the coat so the coat automatically creates a balloon form at the second half of the coat. The colours of the scarf fit perfectly the rest of the outfit like for example the light yellow of the scarf is repeated in the oversized pullover. She wears a golden CASIO digital watch that already is seen on other pictures posted on my blog. So apparently these digital watches have to be a must this year for fashionable people.


Again I took a picture of a man wearing a v-neck shirt. The neckline of the marine pullover is quite large. That makes the sweater fall very special. Since the v-neck of the pullover is that extreme it falls over his shoulders.
Very en vogue this year was and still is the cloth bag that you usually get in a stylish clothing store when you buy something. A very famous cloth bag that of course Karl Lagerfeld wears, is the bag that has “KARL WHO?” printed on it designed by Naco Paris. Since that cloth bag is that famous many people create it by themselves. In combination with the marine blue pullover and the blue cloth bag he wears washed out drainpipe trousers and chocolate brown leather shoes.


The woman on this picture has a quite masculine and baggy style. She wears grey drainpipe trousers that look a bit too large and mixes them with colourful sneakers. When I first had a look at the picture I thought she’s that kind of woman that doesn’t care much about what she combines but in fact I was wrong. Matching to the scarf, the sneakers have yellow shoelaces. Her washed out pullover fits the colour of the “nike” sign of the shoes. The shirt she wears underneath her pullover matches perfectly the main colour of the quite clunky sneakers. I find it very interesting that although she uses a lot of completely different colours the outfit still looks good.
