Trendology: Tina Kaliva F/W 2010 Collection

I rarely see good result when fashion designers combine the tribal elements to their collection but Tina Kaliva has proven me this is doable.

In this latest collection, Tina has used the tribal pattern as inspiration and you can see two extreme cases here: pattern all over the dress or minimal add ons to the simple piece of clothing. For the minimal part, I am in love with the black jacket with the tribal pattern add ons on the shoulder and waist area. It's trendy, but at the same time, the pattern is not stealing the show. I also like the big pattern on the dresses because the color combination is very electrify and it will cause people to stare at the dress for a long time.

Here are some of my favorites and you can click here to view the rest of the collection.
