They say that opposites attract… black and white is always one of my favorite subjects. Even if they are brief and to the point. There are black and white rules to life and to design, however it is hard to go wrong with either. Each wears itself well and differently.

Mod, hip or soft and innocent.. black and white possess similar abilities yet are so opposite like these Black and White Dresses by Versace.

Sometimes black and white is not so simple.. Patterns that create and disturb the elements also rule the runway and the room. Black and white as an accessory.. beautiful and bold. Filled with rules and order that make it all work. Opposites pulling apart yet coming together.  Bracelets by Hermes. Image on the right is from LivingEtc.

No matter what the execution.. black and white is classic. Always.
