Colour blocking was shown on the runways for fall 2009. For Spring 2010, blocking is taken one step further with pattern combinations.

3.1 Philip Lim showed a geometric/plain combination. BCBG Max Azria and Thakoon used blocking to create asymmetry. 

Tuleh matched dots of different colours against a black background for a 1950's look.

At Marchesa, lace was combined with sheer to create a distinctive evening look.
