The Colors of Fall….
When it comes to colors, everyone has their personal favorites. And these colors, for that particular person, become evergreen…In addition there are colors that come and go with theseasons and the fashions.. Every year textile and color pundits predict color, fabric & fashion trends to welcome and inspire people towards change ..
On the left is a picture that depicts the color trends for fall 2007 Men & Women. Some of the shades of these colors like the ‘Burnt Ochre’ – second from the top, ‘Chili Pepper’- third from the top, ‘Stargazer’ – fourth from the top, ‘Lemon Curry’ – eighth from the top & ‘Purple Wine ‘ –last in the picture are visible on the runway for spring 2008 as well.
So if you are picking up a piece (besides jackets, which are obviously winter wear) for fall this season make sure you pick from these colors as they can be used in summer as well!
Season’s hot pick and color of the year is ‘Chili Pepper’ – the color of strength, health & passion.
In India, the color red signifies purity, mostly used in weddings & in China red symbolizes celebration and luck, used in many cultural ceremonies that range from funerals to weddings and at the start of every Chinese lunar year.
Red draws attention and a keen use of red as an accent can immediately focus attention on a particular element. A perfect color for accessories like scarves, handbags or jackets.
Fall Color also not to be missed this season is Smokey Gray. A color which was widely used by designers for Fall 2007.
Some key looks and my favorites from the runway of fall 2007 where these colors were used are -
Carafe – An alternative to black or charcoal
Burnt Ochre - New Orange for Fall 2007
Chili Pepper - Dark , deep & intense – my favorite**
Stargazer - Another color from fall which is my favorite is stargazer.. looks really good on dusky people (tried & tested)
Phew…! I am seeing stars now.. took me more than 8 hours to put this blog together & I can’t go on…So let me name this blog Part I and in few hours I will be back with part II of ‘The Colors of Fall’.
I think this is my most favorite blog and I thoroughly enjoyed writing and editing each and every word and picture of it..
