Fourth moodboard:artistic expression.

In the age of networking, mixing cultures,styles and trends is as usual as your facebook page.
Friends and contacts you don't even know from other countries and eras. Looks like this fourth trend: a sampling of folk, hippie,boho,marie antoinette,altered couture, and arty worlds flow into each other.Multicolored backgrounds make the color series lives from powerful impulses.
Constrasts like cold/warm tones produce tension and new dimension appears in scene.
Tartans, tweeds,plaids and colorful checks provide a new rhythm. Recycled clothing generate random effects. Folk and neo-hippie prints show their colors in the tye dye pattern and ultra-lightweight technics and colored denims stand for a girl next door look.
