The art of colour combinations in fashion can be the style defining moment of a season. Because colour has many layers - and not just visually - it can profoundly impact a design.

Once a designer has an understanding of colour theory, they then have the power to design clothes that will resonate on a much deeper level.

If you are familiar with the colour wheel, you will see that complementary colours create a vibrant contrast, while analogous colours can create a sense of subtle harmony.

Then the fun begins - why not experiment with shades and tints and see how much depth emerges? But remember, the magic is in the mix!

What's your favourite colour combination to work with? Share your most daring mixes below!
