Fashion Terminology

The summer collections have emerged on the runways of the biggest fashion capitals of the world with some new fashion terminology to go with it.

1. Pop Prints- Seen at Duro Olowu and Marni
Use of clashing colours and juxtaposition of prints.

Marni S/S 09 Show

Top: Stripy T-shirt with Ruffle Zipper down the middle
Bottom: Knee length Grey skirt with orange Polka Dots




2. New Dimension- seen at Calvin Klein and Dolce & Gabbana
Fabric is designed away from the body which adds volume, I feel that designers didn't want to waste fabric so they decided make use of it.

3. Cosmetique Pales-Seen at Rodrate, Tommy Hilfiger
Basically means natural shades in terms of make-up such as peach and pink.
