Color trend prediction- Fall 2008 Winter 2009


Purple Aubergines Color Mood Board
Purple has established itself as colour of note in the latter part of this first decade of the new millennium. The central models in the mood board above all feature purple tones worn at the Dior catwalk show. The regal colour moves through shades of lilac, to deeper aubergines, and culminates in a more inky base of dark deep deep blues. This heralds the return of inky navy as a fashion tone after a long spell in the wilderness.


Red/Orange Color Mood Board

The main fashion trend for Autumn 2008/9 hinge on a good strong fashion colour palette, which is rich and earthy. Such beautiful hues mean there is no better time to buy winter coats in colors that suit every complexion.

Fiery red with the tone which is found only on the ripest tomatoes is one of the more joyful new autumn fashion trends for colours of 2008. Red is a base for footwear, shoes and handbags as well as leather, satin and folkloric rose embroidery. It's perfect for party dresses to wear in the holiday season and looks wonderful when set against ruby red gemstones, garnets or Swarovski crystals.


Winter White Cream, Taupe & Cocoa Mood Board
The classic fashion mood board for winter features light shades of tangerine orange and crushed brown sugars. What you also get is a warm earthy palette that soon meets cappuccino, taupes and pink based cocoa. As winter is the coldest season, these colours often are so watered down and pastel they become a tint of winter white.

Those same taupe and cocoa pink tones develop sorbet like tints when white is added to them; the resulting soft dusty hues are pretty and gently feminine.

Autumn 2008/9 is about new colour, about hues of depth with the warmth of the renaissance palette.


Apricot Golds Color Mood Board
The golden apricot fashion mood boards feature citrus greens, melt creamy banana, and rust. Animal skin prints highlight the importance of the rich ginger and tortoise tones. This season watch out for shoes and bags in golden toned leopard prints.
