So, let s talk winter. This winter is strongly influenced by the return of color, with a strong emphasis on printed fabrics. The colors that dominate this season are of course the classical conservatives, blacks, whites, tans and grays, as well as ravishing reds, golds, silvers, browns, blues and mauves. Hot pink is still in and warm and cool neutrals are paired with dark tones, such as verdigris and indigo. The spanish-inspired looks in red and white are also making a strong appearance.
Embroideries are still prevalent, but appliques seem to be taking over.
Mono prints, spots, geometric and plated prints, checks, tweeds and animal prints have experienced a major comeback in the fashion world and are very popular for this season. As far as fabrics are concerned, leather in plains and skins, coordinated with silks, chiffon, satin and lace is a definite must. Silk and satin are also among the most popular fabrics for this season. Coats are slim fitting, belted and semi-long. Skirts have on the knee hemlines, and trousers are narrow fitted styles, hipsters and some wide legs.
