DALLAS, Aug 6, 2009 / FW/ — Florals. Geometry. Patterns inspired by nature.

Custo Barcelona and Diane von Furstenberg go crazy with mix matching prints for fall. The seemingly uncoordinated blending of these fabrics actually creates something unified and striking. This fashion risk adds charisma not only to your appearance but to your personality.

Anna Sui breaks up business with correlative solids. Alexandre Herchcovitch develops spunky dresses that are strictly dependent on fabric choice.

Do not just go blending any prints, be sure they complement the others or you will be rough on the eyes. Keep accessories at a minimum.

Be sassy this fall by incorporating this trend into your wardrobe. Be inspired with bold color and design. Resist your natural inclination to adhere to perfect coordination.

Do not think about matching, but rather dwell on complementing.
