Smash of Styles to freeze up A/W season

03 Apr '09
4 min read

Sailing ships opened up the New World and intrepid traders forged the silk routes between Europe and the Far East. Earthy colours cross the spectrum of cinnamon through browns, wines and reds into deep mauves and dark navy blues. They were perfect for the fashions of the time, and now they are perfect for creating new fashions that mirror the old.

The taste of adventure and the wilderness inspire the search for ancient treasure, the search for the “Forever Natural”. Inevitably thoughts turn to warm neutral shades, the “Treasured Neutrals” that remind us of the countryside in autumn and winter as the green grass tones down to dusky green and dusky orange, the ploughed fields look like dull gold, chestnut and the dark brown of forest night. In the cool colours, grey and light brown are a reminder of stone walls and buildings out on the moors while winter white tones with these shades while perhaps reminding us the spring will not be far away.

Finally Stahl gives “Future-Retro Action” a truly exciting look into the future. With Autumn and Winter on the scene, colours are aptly named “Freeze Up”. There's snow white, of course, and then a range of cold colours such as dapple grey, fieldspar green, and silver lake blue through to jet black. Here the metallic shade is white pearl-metallic, it's slightly cream hue making snow white seem even whiter.

The range of colours in this forecast is so varied that there has to be something for everyone. Will the cheerful colours help us to put the present economic problems behind us and give us something for the high street to call us back into the shops? Hopefully “Yes” and hopefully these are the colours to attract the customers.
