Black on Black & Black with White




Black and White Monochrome Options is a continuing strong trend.
Coming Fashion Colour Trends
The palette for autumn 2008/9 has true autumnal hues with even richer depth. Take the fresher clearer brights of spring summer 2008 to your heart right now. See how easily they carry coming colour trends and mix with autumn 2008 hues. Overall, for Fall Winter 08/09, expect to see plenty of intense velvety purple with blue depths found in the iris, and in the twinkle of bluebell fields. Add black or white to these main colours and see how the resultant dusty aubergine, and the darkest rich plums, all play for attention.
Fashion History
We are surrounded by colour everywhere we look. Catwalk fashion colour affects every area of our lives. Even car manufacturers follow new colour trends. All the time the car manufacturers are working on new paint tones. Right now they are working on popular car models in purple aubergine, silver mauve and blue hues. With huge costs at stake these are carefully developed tints. Changes in fashion clothing colours fortunately move faster.
Fashion history shows that colour in clothing ensembles, was just as important to generations hundreds of years ago, as it is to us today. Jane Austen's heroines favoured white muslin, but two centuries later women have warmed to wearing fashion colours again. Women today, do everything to make themselves look younger, and careful use of colour helps to enhance their skin making it zing with vitality.
With the many man made methods of adding colour to materials in 2008, we can select from thousands of tones. More importantly, dye systems of 2008 can guarantee repeatable colours, so we can have exactly the shade, or tint that a designer carefully selected. In the early years of the millennium, texture and shimmer crept into fashion fabrics and as a result our lives have become more sparkling and colourful. Now the first fashion decade of the century, 'the noughties' in costume history terms, is likely to close with strong pattern and bright colour. In retrospect, it is clear that the natural vibrant hues found in foodstuffs, flora and fauna have helped create the main colour palettes of the noughties. Credit to : fashion-era.com
