Fashion Colors of 2008

2008 has been christened the year of color and vivacity  by all the top Italian fashion houses. Out with understated, muted shades that blend you into anonymity: now a new dimension of color is taking over, which will take your breath away, grab your attention and appeal to your senses!

So what are the new color tones of 2008?
Let's check them out one by one.

PURPLE / VIOLA is the biggest color trend in Italian and international high fashion, omnipresent on every haute couture catwalk in a multitude of shades, from palest lilac to the deeper, intense hues.

Purple is an exceptional and striking color that will never go unnoticed.

It goes with everything, adapts to all different looks and can be worn with confidence by women of all ages, for every sort of occasion. Purple is perfect for accessories and shoes, giving a touch of originality and shaking up your whole look, so you appear totally glamorous and stunningly attractive.

If you want to be noticed without losing out on elegance, this is the color for you, to suit your personality; a vibrant, fresh and fashionable shade that will make you feel like the most beautiful and desirable woman in the world

A color that is more sober, but just as cutting edge this season, is the new OLIVE, a mixture of green and brown, which makes you think of ripe olives ready for the harvest and the fresh, grassy scent of newly bottled extra virgin olive oil. It is the color of serenity, harmony and peace, perfect for all lines of clothing, from classic to sporting. OLIVE goes perfectly with all other colors, but its true beauty is set off best by white or beige, two contrasting colors that further enhance its qualities.

Summer 2008 will be enlivened by lots of new colors, but the die-hard fans of BLACK / NERO can rest assured that classic black will continue to be much in demand and is featured by all the biggest Italian fashion labels. Some designers continue to choose it as the signature color of their collections and many producers and manufacturers of leather goods feature prestigious, luxury leather bags and accessories in BLACK, embellished with crystals, pendants and sparkling buckles.

So this year black, despite everything, still reigns supreme as the undisputed color of choice for elegance, sophistication and allure, maintaining its tenacious rule over the world of Italian and international haute couture.

With it however you can contrast the much showier and vibrant shades of metallics  such as GOLD and SILVER, distinctive colors that make sure you won't fade into the background, but which are still sophisticated and extremely elegant. A handbag in GOLD or SILVER gives a touch of luminous charm to the plainest, and most anonymous of dresses, even to the most casual of looks. If a shimmering accessory is enough to enrich your look and make you even more beautiful and striking, just imagine how stunning you'd be with such a bag made from valuable genuine python skin.

GOLD and SILVER are versatile shades that work just as well for evening bags, clutches and pochettes, where elegance and attention to detail are de rigueur, as for capacious totes and carryalls for every day, for the office or for shopping with friends, as even then it is important to consider elegance and style and besides … having colors about you that are invigorating and vibrant helps kick start the day with positive energy and good spirits!!!

 

RED is back this year as one of the hottest colors about. It is the color of passion, victory and positivity, perfect with jeans or to complement more elegant outfits.  RED is the color of fire, the vital forces and of action. It is especially favored by women who want to project a powerful image without losing their femininity and who love being surrounded by strong colors that are cheerful and positive, and which help you face the most difficult situations with energy and a bright smile.

At the other end of the palette from the strong and superb shades of silver, gold and red, we find the more delicate PASTELS, which herald the fresh growth and sweet scents of spring. They are very delicate, soft colors but no less elegant and appealing than the brighter shades. All products made in these colors are so beautiful and harmonious that they can be worn whatever the season, whatever the occasion, and are just as perfect for our younger clients, as for those who love classic refinement. These pastels can truthfully be defined as UNIVERSAL SHADES, since they adapt to all kinds of looks and remain current and beautiful over the years. A TOP QUALITY CHOICE!!!

 

The other color that is taking the fashion world by storm in 2008 is GREEN, which many stylists and designers of leather goods have rediscovered and brought back into the limelight after a long period of absence from the scene.

GREEN is the perfect color for spring and summer, reflecting the color of the fields and hills, the fresh leaves on the trees as they surge with new life. It is a positive color, signifying rebirth and hope, and this year, when the fashion scene is all about color and vibrant energy, green can't help but play a leading role.

This color is especially appreciated by younger women who, with youthful confidence and energy, want to express their joie de vivre with a fresh and dynamic look.

 

And what all if these wonderful colors were to be combined with top quality, luxury python skins produced to high standards of excellence? >>>
