The big story of the season is color, of rather, the lack of it. Whereas spring and summer has traditionally been the time for eye-popping shades and neon brights, this season offers mainly nude-tones, and ice cream colors which are good enough to eat.
This is reflected in soft feminine cuts, floaty layers of sheer delicate fabrics and lashings of draping and frills The prevailing color mood for Spring 2010 is one of light femininity and timeless chic.
Ice Cream Colors for Spring 2010
Whether it’s candy floss pink, spearmint, pale lemon or a hint of lilac, this season bids farewell to black and last year’s shocking pinks and Schiaparelli reds.
Instead, spring summer runways were awash with sweet-shop colors from Michael Kors ladies in lilac to Victor & Rolf’s spearmint shades to Luella’s candy floss pink.
The big difference however, is how to wear them. Sugary-sweet they may be but these modern feminine shapes need toughening up with peep-toe ankle boots, chunky heels or a boyish belt. This trend is all about contrasts, to avoid looking to girlie. From hard to soft, and strong structured cuts with contrasting delicate fabrics.
