Metalic Magic by, Martin Dobson
The warmth of Summer made cool with a palette of metallic coldness using neutral greyish blues made iridescent with acid sparkle and worn with easy dressing baggier silhouette is a must have palette for Spring/Summer 2008. The finishing treatments are a key factor this season. Patent leather looks combined with molten metal – they gleam like mercury and silver, precious and technical at the same time, combining the historical with the delicate to create a stunning yet wearable look to enhance the metallic magic colour palette.
Colours
Metallic shades of grey- highlighted with colours such as slate rose, tender roots and blue mist are used to reflect the light with infinite delicacy-this palette is created to bring a touch of coolness to the hot sunny days of summer.
Fabrics
Metallic techno fabrics pair up with delicate shades of silver lace and coated linens brought together with refined shiny jacquards to create a style to be flaunted for a Spring/Summer 2008
