Well, the obvious trend, BLACK is OUT

[HauteFashion]

Prints, vibrancy and colour is in, perhaps to lift the mood somewhat. The collections are not looking as conservative as past showcases and i see very little dark tones to the garments, limited shades of grey, brown etc.. on the runway this season, no?

 

[dulcedeleche]

For the spring collections? Yes. But I will still wear it anyway.

 

[DividedMoow]

Yes, i agree ! Also i think that white is going to be the new black... Look at al the runwayshows (especially the beginning of D&G), it's al white white white !
Love it

 

[Gincat]

wait, I thought "black was back" (or something like that)

 

[Curious]

I'm in the camp that says black is never REALLY out, but in response to your topic, some of the early NY collections actually used aLOT of black. And with a heavy hand at that so they didn't even look like spring.

I'm no expert, but, generally speaking, aren't spring collections usually devoid of black?

 

[DividedMoow]

I'm no expert, but aren't spring collections usually devoid of black?

Haha yes that's true..

 

[Lena]

i really avoid black -mainly because everyone is wearing it at the moment and it IS the obvious choice- but... i think its still going strong ...at least in NY as curious just posted

 

[Kimkhuu]

it may not be as strong as last season...... but its quite impossible for black to be called OUT.... it may be a less stronger or stronger trend depending on the general mood of the season...... ...but it will ALWAYS be a staple......

 

[tott]

Yep. And even if designers don't show a scrap of black on the runway, the stores carry it. People want black, so of course they're going to make and sell it.

 

[PrincessImp.]

Everyone will have something black to wear in their closet..so yea, I'm basically one of those people who wears black regardless of the season.

 

[urd]

I've been wearing a lot of black this season, but I believe it's about to change when spring comes

 

[goosemaster]

I thought black was the new black?

 

[Bluestar07]

I NEED black!

 

[CatwalkCity]

Black out?? what?? I've been buying more black than ever but I'm a guy so maybe it doesn't count?? But the big rocker look involves a lot of black and faded black skinny jeans...and thats not over yet... I think we'll see more black this winter in London... H&M have stocked up and so have a few other high street stores... just my 2 pence really!

 

[phantasmagoric]

Black will always be a classic and basic color. Personally, I really don't care about whats "in" or "out" though.

 

[Sher]

yea, I'll never stop wearin black. Its a great color. Half my closet is black. For me its a comfort thing.

Black will never really be out but in spring black always seems to eb a bit out-er simply because gorgeous floral or light colours fit at that time.

 

[mishahoi]

hmmm.... black was shown quite a bit in NY... and the other collections still showed a darker palette than usual... personally i live in black, so it will always be "in" ;P

 

[softgrey]

black is back and bigger than ever...


even the colours that are being used now have black in them...
because most of them have a 'dusty' hue...
meaning there is a bit of black in them...

colour and vibrancy?...
where?....

 

[Jesper D]

Well, Softgrey sort of ended all discussion there

I love black, i wear lots of black

I would say that this fall is extremely black, and as people said before me, the spring is less black, but its really really black now...
