Silhouettes & Color Story A/W 2011/12

Color Story FW 2011-12


Zeitgeist Fashionista's ( ZF  ) Color Forecast...

The current colors are mostly pastel colors paired with neutrals, but the bigger, bolder colors are the jewel tones that have been sprinkled in.

For the next 2 years...

We predict that...

Jewel tones are here to stay
Black wil come back
Metallics will come into focus

Zeitgeist Fashionista's forecast...

The shapes of FW 2011-12 are mostly straight silhouettes with defined waist. There is the occasional full skirt, but it is a rare sight. Most of the skirts are either straight, or a modified version of both and a symmetric shape overall.

For the next 2 years, we predict that...

Skirts will start to gain fullness
As they gain fullness, other variations of shape will occur from that such as the mermaid silhouette
The waist will likely start to disappear again
The dresses will become more asymmetrical, instead of the symmetrical shape we see now.





Beauty Trends
This summer 2011, the trend for beauty is of course: flawless tan skin with an application of bright merry colors! (Images provided by StyleSight.com)




Considering the fact that movies and shows are trending towards vampires, the trends following beauty for fall and winter will be going towards "Porcelain Perfection". This is completely different from what we're seeing now for summer, colors are far from vibrant, save for the red lip. Natural fair skin is in, but that doesn't mean if you don't have fair skin, you aren't "in". The trend is coming in also due to the fact that skin cancer is on the rise.







Royal Wedding Inspired Accessories!
With the royal wedding over, brides have leaned to princess and vintage statement pieces.



The modern princess is a huge trend for this bridal season, must be inspired by Kate Middleton.




Headdresses have become a statement piece, not just with bridal but in street fashions as well. Young & Ng has definitely taken advantage of this trend.


Prohibition is creating a buzz with, flapper inspired accessories such as pearls, jeweled and feathered headbands and dark lipstick.
