Generous autumn in shades of red (Part 1)
Unlike many other fashion seasons, this autumn has rather definite color spectrum which can be characterized, however, as restrained. If creating the last summer collections, designers toss about all spectrum and have frankly hung-up on black and brown the last winter, the autumn-winter/2007-2008 has obvious differences from both seasons.
The main colors this time are grey and black («new black», playing by numerous shades due to the most unusual textures of materials). However it is impossible to tell, that other colors are completely deleted from the designers’ arsenal.
Among bright touches, present in the palette this autumn, there are citreous, dark blue, fuchsia and, certainly, red. And the main burden has lain on red, because it should soften base colors and to make an autumn podium not sad, but really elegant.
This idea has so carried away some designers, that influence of red can be seen almost on all their collections. Among those, let’s say, the Miu Miu Fashion House: it has things of completely pure scarlet color, and things with only some red details and hardly perceptible shades of brown or violet.
In general, red is more common for us in clothes for special occasions. Even psychologically we perceive this color as festive one. It is also an aggressive color, associated with the heightened sexuality.
