autumn/winter 2014, autumnal green, Favlook - Lookfav Focus, green as signature colour, menswear, womenswear

The green colour story was runway legible for autumn / winter 2014.

As a signature hue,  green indicates balance, harmony, positivity and hope.

It is an uplifting colour, which is symbolic of nature,

rejuvenation, optimism and growth.

Following top positioned blue,

green (shared with red) ranks as the second most popular colour.

…

For autumn / winter 2014 sartorial colour choice,

harmonize with green to feel and to project a quality of

‘abc’:  asssurance, balance, calmness.

Surprise! Surprise! Suprise! : Yohji Yamamoto, a/w 2014

autumn/winter 2014, colour/print inspiration, gender-less fashion, menswear - bold accents, oversizing, Yohji Yamamoto

Black is signature colour for designer Yohji Yamamoto,

(image from vogue.fr):

yohji_yamamoto vogue.fr__9695_north_380x

whose clothing seem the product of

contemplative calm and dress freedom created by:

gender-less identification:  silhouettes which suit both men and women

deconstruction:  a shift away from “perfect fashion”

over-sizing:  the big is beautiful factor

minimalist:  low-key / tranquil aspect

a succinct summing up of the aesthetics expressed by

a typical Yohji Yamamoto collection.

…

For his menswear  a/w  2014 offering

Mr. Yamamoto veers, in bold measure,

from his traveled design path and follows a road of

colour vibrancy, print, sharper tailoring and fit.

Yet, elements of the Yamamoto essence are in evidence:

layering, voluminousness, gender non-specific fashion .

…

This combination of fashion factors:  the unexpected and the expected

 resulted in a vivacious collection.

The element of design surprise intrigues.

I wonder what’s to be “expected” next , or not

from one of my favourite creatives

Yohji Yamamoto

Think pink for Spring 2014

16 Sunday Mar 2014

colour characteristics, spring 2014, the colour pink - spring 2014

Spring is a fickle season –

some days gloriously warm, in anticipation of summer

other days disappointingly chilly, in memory of winter just past.

Yet one thing remains constant … the power of pink.

Whatever the spring temp, dress in shades of pink

for a fashion weather vane – point in the right direction

…

The pull of pink may have something to do with its colour meaning.

Pink is a secondary colour mix of

red (action, passion, energy)  and

white (wholeness, completeness).

It is said to represent unconditional love, compassion, reassurance.

Pink has a soothing, calming effect on the senses.

It signals hope and positivity.

This Spring make sure  ‘to be in the pink’
