Warm, sunny days

Not yet....but the NYFK S/S 2010 collections give a glimpse into the not too distant future of warm(ish) seasons. So we probably shouldn't expect scorching hot summer days or the kind of warm romantic evenings, free of a British serving of ice-cold breeze, where you can sit out by the sea until the stars come up. No, that would be too much wishful thinking, but the clothes will certainly warm up our spirits. Colourwise, there seems to be a border between the bright and vibrant, and the muted but more luxurious shades.

Vivid orange at Donna Karen in contrast to the richer and more opulent looking tones at Carlos Miele and Carolina Herrera.

There tended to be a play up of bold, bright colours followed by similar tones that were paler, but enhanced with a metallic edge, seen especially well at Caroline Herrera with the use of chocolate bronzes, gold and the orange as above.

Pink looks set to be big for Spring and was seen at most catwalks for today, including Barbara Tfank, Carlos Miele and Zac Posen.

 

 

Here's a little selection of some of the other shades I think we'll all be colouring ourselves with next year...
