Spring/Summer 2010 - 2011

For women

• Move over 80’s and bow to the new modesty.
• High waist, longer hems (past the knee) and curvy (meaning busty) but overall a sense of the new modesty – not overdoing it, relaxed and natural. Think 1950’s dresses.
• Lots of florals - gorgeous big flowers. Be careful how you wear these. If your petite search out the smaller patterns if you’re on the larger size be careful of having patterns that are too big as they can accentuate your size. If you have dark hair go for a dark background, light hair go for a lighter background – notice how it works so much better with your overall look.
• Sequins, brocade, beading, ruffles, fur, feathers, lace all adding interest, texture and a richness to the clothing. This look – where more is well more is in stark contrast to the minimalist look – monochromatic and neutral (mostly) block coloured outfits with minimal or no detailing.
• Velvet and leather are playing a big part in the Autumn Winter shows in the Northern hemisphere so watch out for them too!
• Colours to look out for – neutrals – khaki, stone, gray, sand, slate even some rich bronze is replacing the silver and gold as the must have metallic for the coming season.
• Textures and Fabrics. Transparent fabrics are still a winner for the warmer months – beautiful in nudes, creams, whites, taupe and grey. The soft khaki is also amazing for the right skin tone.

Above all - do not buy because it's fashionable - buy because it's in your budget, you love it and it suits you. There is such a range in the shops at the moment that there are fantastic pieces for everyone. Buying choices are assisted when you know what depth, intensity, contrast and shine works best for your colouring and image. Generally people only wear 20% of what’s in their wardrobe. Having a colour and style consultation can ensure that you never make a wrong purchase again. Call Annalisa 0413898776 to book in a consultation.
