Art Direction: What is Color Blocking?

Fashion trend isn’t always easy to understand. Which is why many of our fashion enthusiast tend to get lost, confused or mixed up with their sense of style.

Now what really is color blocking? Its a combination of different colors that support and compliment each other. The only question is “Are you brave enough to try it?” …

As you may see Yellow goes well with Purple and for kicking it up Orange Yellow will be a substitute to Yellow paired with the Purple. My take for color blocking I tried mixing up Orange and Blue and toned down with a black blouse and black bonnet. Check it out…
