The Urban Dictionary can be quite enlightening Glamma, especially when you don't want to let on that you don't know what young people are talking about grin

I would think "To be rank" would refer to something that had gone off and smelt rather rancid,I am reading the op's post as some part of a dissertation but I am probably wrong (again) but I'm not into this urban dictionary stuff prefer everyday discriptions I understand.smile

Mashup refers to Mix and match in other words in the fashion industry gracesmum. To be rank, a trend not all of us prefer, when the costume or jewelry are matched perfectly, it would be stunning, otherwise disgusting...

What is a mashup ? It reminds me of a previous jingl incarnation!Thin satin matched with thick duffle sounds original - as does the dear OP's English.smile

I agree - and I don't think I've ever given anyone dazzled feelings, sadly...sigh!

I am recently writing articles on fashion and jewelry, don't know whether these tips work for you , but wanna have a try to write some of my opinion since spring is on the way and I'd like to wear by applying those tips, well, still wanna have a try on writing it...
1.Mix and match of color
Color should be paid into special attention in the process of match and mix, for color is always the eye-catching talisman, to match colors that seems impossible together can make different visual effect. While there are basic principles for color matching, that is the using of contrasting colors or colors of the same purity should be on the base of the unity of style.
Thus the clothes chose should be consistent with each other on styles to avoid giving people dazzled feelings. Keep it in mind to not taking advantage of too many colors, for colors worn should be controlled within the kinds of three or four. In addition the transition between colors should be focused as well.
2.Mashup of different texture
The matching of the most soft and hard elements can highlight the features of the materials itself. In the international show there appeared the classic style matching chiffon with jeans. This summer many dress were made of silk, cotton and denim with splicing method; the flash fabric improved with rough materials and thin satin matched with thick duffle are the popular method to create layering wearing effect and feeling of unusual.
3.Mashup of different style
You can exert any kinds of creative inspiration to rearrange single products of different styles. Take the mashup of crystal beads with leather cord for example, with rough mad yet still delicate and graceful, it is really full of visual impact.
4.Law of matching and mixing lines
Matching products of curve lines with straight lines can enrich the content of visual effect, thus highlight temptation of the products on eyes.
