Pastels : Faded Technicolor S/S 07

[jun3machina]

Okay, so I have been noticing A LOT of pastels in for spring. Not the typical, "look it's almost easter" pastels that are usually stereotypical of spring, but romantic and almost vintage 1950's type pastels. From louis vuitton to marc jacobs to calvin klein and ...these are just some of my favs. From sweet rose pinks, to lemon yellows to mint greens and powder blues, there vintage versions of popular pastel colors. I loved the grey trend for fall, and it seems to be the new neutral set in to offset these lovely pastels. I am loving this subtle spring trend....like FADED TECHNICOLOR!

I personally would call these faded wallpaper colors. Seems like a fashion world response to "shabby chic"-style interior decorating.

i've noticed this as well---it's pretty much the ONLY colour in a VERY black and white spring...


i think we are going to see a lot of grey and navy in real life though come spring...
to go with the black and white..
and then maybe a touch of the pastel here and there...

you're right, ju3n... i loved the color palette at the vuitton show

i actually quite like the marc by marc show now...maybe it's the colors.
i like that muted/washed in dirty water type of pastel...the only kind of pastel i can stand. soft but not sweet/bubbly girly...like violet from pretty baby

i've never been a fan of pastels before, but this batch is different. it's an actual fresh take on the supposedly "fresh" colors that come in the spring collections.
...i especially like the green, mint-y color...i hope to be wearing a lot of that this upcoming spring.

HBoogie- faded wall paper colors is a great description! ...i hope you meant that in a good way...

My skintone looks awful in pastels, I guess I'll stick to neons.

Oh my very goodness. I love this trend xxx

so glad these pastels aren't that nasty "easter color palette" these pastels are truly softer and gentlier on the eyes....I agree with soft about spring being b&w with some splashes here and there. nonetheless...I'm liking what i'm seeing.

i am absolutely in love with this trend! i think burberry, marc jacobs, louis vuitton (mj) and marc by marc did it best (although i tried to get pics of more variety). i am dreaming of these pastel colors in jersey dresses and lots of layers. i just bought a MJ quinn in "honeydew" and it's my spring bag so far...like a light melon green. these colors make me feel very relaxed and girly

(and thank you whatever mod spaced out the title for me )

Grrr...I'm too pale to wear pastels. Too bad, because I love them!

Really like this trend so far!
(the Burberry Prorsum models need to stand up straight. )

i love how burberry mixed it with greys, black white and metalic...
