Main trends of Spring 2008: Psychedelia, bright neon colors and men’s style
It seems, as if fashion designers have decided to return thoroughly to the 60s, with one of its mottos «Sex, drugs and a rock-and-roll». Couturiers have presented the whole kaleidoscope of colorations and abstract patterns, as if created influenced by psychedelics. Chaotic strokes and bright stains are main features of the trend.
From one extreme to another: after grey-black winter shades to the foreground have been brought bright neon colors - orange, yellow, electric, tomato-red… Certainly, not everyone can wear such bright clothes, therefore designers have offered the compromise - bright neon flashes on a background of neutral whole-colored clothes. It can be both a garment, and any noticeable accessory - handbag, glasses, bracelet.
Men’s style is still popular. Taking into account the general flower-romantic spirit of spring collections, it seems a necessary counterbalance. The most actual this time appeared punk and gothic styles. One of this season’s shticks is shorts in a combination with a jacket of classical breed, or stylized as a kimono.
As a whole spring-and-summer collections 2008 look very positively.
