The Colour Rules for a Summer Capsule

Capsule wardrobe outfit ideas: 17 coordinated summer looks styled by translating Henri Matisse's "Still Life With Lemons" (1943) into a wearable capsule wardrobe. In this Art-to-Capsule episode, I show how I translated one painting into a complete summer capsule wardrobe for a client in 2020. You'll see how Matisse's hot pink background became blouses, how the scattered lemons inspired a yellow linen dress and a green tiered dress, why the teal vase's colour split into green trousers and light blue trousers, and how white pieces (jeans, bag, espadrilles) hold the whole wardrobe together the same way Matisse used white space in his composition. 🛍️ Curious about the brands I recommend?
