Breaking Outdated Fashion Rules

  Breaking outdated fashion rules was one of the topics in last week’s Ifb links a la mode featuring my post on How to create collage with Photoshop. The post wasn’t exactly about breaking fashion rules in general but about breaking the author’s fashion rule of always buying certain fashion pieces in black. It got me thinking of all the fashion rules that have been set and broken over the years.
