Bright Colour Trend

My new fashion tip for Spring/Summer 2010 is that bright colours are back with us again. The trend includes a gorgeous kaleidoscope of colours such as orange, red, coral, cobalt blue, various sugary and strong pinks, yellow and turquoise. However this season these brights were seen on the catwalks in some really striking combinations. Such as with an array of vintage-inspired nudes or tans; with another massive trend of metalics; and with black, white, and the combination of black and white, which gave a harder, edgier feel to the designs.

The combinations of colours were shown through some fantastically graphical prints, hard-edged paneling and layering. The fabrics showing these bright colours were predominantly glossy and fitted, such as PVC and jersey or ruffled and draped such as chiffon and silk. In some collections there was a stunning combination of bright colours, showcased mainly in body-conscious digitally-printed dresses.

See my Facebook fanpage 'Carmen Woods Fashion Trends' to see the links I have selected to show this colour trend, which was particularly interesting at Basso & Brooke, Gucci, Versace, Alexander McQueen, Diane von Furstenberg and Stella McCartney. I have also posted a small selection here.

Have a look at our favourite sale items of the moment! They are all available at our beautiful 'Carmen' boutique at 119 Broadway West, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.

Carmen Woods Luxury Leather Handbags

Hi, I own 'Carmen Woods', the luxury leather handbag label and boutique based in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.

For my business it is essential that I am aware of all the fashion trends for over a year in advance. I know which colours, shapes and fabrics you'll probably be wearing by this time next year.

So I thought I'd start a blog where anyone who loves fashion can discuss trends, what they like wearing and what they might be wearing in the up coming seasons.

There'll be photos and links showing my favourite current trends and you'll all be very welcome to post photos or links of either youselves or your friends in your favourite designs, whether designer, vintage or high street.

Also I'll give some insider fashion tips each week about designers and upcoming trends to watch out for. I have a Facebook fanpage (the links are shown at the bottom of this page) and Twitter page which will follow my blogs too.
