In 2001 we saw the introduction of interesting
patterns and new shapes in heels, peep toe shoes, sling back shoes and sandals.
After a winter of Victorian and Edwardian style ankle boots, dainty feminine
shoes are making statements. Louis hourglass heels of various heights and
pointed toe stiletto heel shoes said 2002.
There was a revival of gold jewellery in 2001
after a few years of the millennium fashion for silver and platinum began to
wane. Now earrings are getting a new focus from drop dangle styles to a
blossoming in size from tiny studs to that of a thumbnail. Not quite the
Dallas/Dynasty comeback, but a return to a small grape size look with plenty of
sandblasting effects on the metals used.
The colours to watch out for in Spring /Summer
2002 were turquoise, greens, mushrooms, aubergine and burnt orange. With
still plenty of pinks, lilacs, purples and violets going through to midnight
blues. Whereas the colours for Autumn/ Winter 2002/3 are olive green,
parsnip, damson, coffee and cream or dusty chocolate.
Pattern is emerging from a long rest with swirl patterns a revived form of Pucci print
first appearing again in 2001. Also spots in multi
colours and diagonal striped tops are everywhere. Tailored jackets will often be
produced in striped materials, either pinstripe or boating stripes. Italian
influenced chevron style knits and paisley patterns will emerge in the autumn as
the
Seventies style revival really takes a hold.
Embroidery and rich floral patterns in borders or careful
placement on a garment will echo a new hippy approach much neglected in the
minimal nineties.
Denim in particular is being used for jackets from bomber to
tailored styles. Denim everything might be a good catch all phrase for 2002 as
it is used for everything from stiletto shoes, bags to belts.
Suede will soon be as favoured as leather and fringing Pocahontas
style will be a big feature on clothes and accessories made from skins. Contoured firm leather shoulder bags, some with fringing add a newness to an old style. Soon
that same fringing style will translate into other fabrics. By autumn 2002 some
of the skins will be treated with punched or perforated patterns that show
Elizabethan style flashes of contrast linings.
Other materials that will be popular by autumn 2002 include boiled
wool, felt, paper thin leather, corduroy, satin, glossy black fur, white
cashmere, and specially treated sheepskins to create a newer look. Shearling and
synthetic faux imitations of shearling mark winter 2003 and will continue well
into autumn winter 2003/4 in a vast range of colours and styles of fur trims.
Note those peasant style and granny print blouson tops,
Edwardian lace blouses, clutch bags, striped shirts, Grecian gatherings on
shoulders and necklines, Bulgari style neck collars, peek a boo cut outs,
open to elbow split sleeves, three quarter sleeves, laser cut lace effects all with a slight nod to bondage styling. The cowboy look
with boots will suit the need of the customer unlikely to go for bondage styles.
The list is endless, you will find more.
