ECLECTIC

Eclectic is a style built on a bold yet considered mixing of different aesthetics, eras, textures and cultures in a single look. Its essence is freedom and self-expression: eclecticism combines the seemingly incompatible — vintage and the contemporary, ethnic motifs and the classic, sport and glamour — to create a unique, individual appearance. Yet true eclecticism is not chaos but the art of balance: disparate elements are united by a shared accent — a colour scheme, a mood, the rhythm of patterns or one 'connecting' detail. The style grew from a rejection of strict fashion rules and a desire to express personality rather than follow a single template. It is prized by those who love experiment, layering and expressive accessories, who do not fear vivid combinations and collect pieces from different worlds. Eclectic is a creative, free and bold approach to style whose main rule is harmony in diversity and fidelity to one's own taste.
