Female Fashion Notes for Winter 2008

Theme
Ultra feminine, decadent and with a lot references to the Parisian fashion scene - these few words nail down this season's highlights and trends. But it's very much up to mix the items into your own personal style. Colours are very earth-toned with a few city-light-colours breaking the overall picture into a more abstract expression.

Shape and Style
Shiny fabrics, elegant silk and beautiful velvet - It's all part of this winter's glamour look. But the most important trend is to mix different fabrics in the styling like a silk top with denim jeans or wool pants. It's the contrasts that make the styling interesting, the casual way of playing with silk scarves, lacquer belts in black and extra long necklaces. Pants have high waistline, knitwear is classic and rustic with a tendency to oversize it, coats are elegantly A-shaped in wool with discreet details and trims.

Colours
Colours are grey tones, black and beige with strong contrasts like dark purple, hot-red, warm orange. Special feature this season is metallic tones of gold and silver.

 

Male Fashion Notes for Winter 2008

Theme
Fashion elements from the country side implemented into the intense city life - that is the most important trend for the season. It's the contrast between the to worlds that makes the look of winter 2008. The rustic, the raw, the authentic versus the stylish, the elegant and the cool.

Shape and Style
Stripes, checked, print, colour blocking - Anything goes, as long as you mix it in an unconventional way. Classic elegant or casual sporty - either way you have to style it with a twist to make it interesting fashion for the winter 2008. Big fat knitwear with a classic blazer jacket, a pair of dark denim jeans is the must-have outfit, and a classic men's shirt and a cardigan for a preppy look. Remember to style with Converse sneakers and ethnic scarves. Finally the urban retro parcacoat is back in town.

Colours
Colours are dark grey, light grey, black and white with strong accent colours like cobalt blue, purple and red.
