CIFF Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 Fashion & Color Trends

The city and the urban world are sources of inspiration, with sculptural forms between the raw and the ultra-technical and where color is highly present. An awareness of the world born of the desire to save endangered resources and folklore. A nomad, tribal spirit, also inspired by urban landscapes. A cultural mix where natural instinct is reconciled with technological progress.

Colors
The bright shades of traditional embroideries: flame red, bright pink, turquoise, fuchsia or purple-blue. In contrast are a variety of more neutral beige accents inspired by the steppe and the desert.

Beauty
A bright range of colors is associated with a second palette composed of pale or dark neutrals, evoking the nomads' tents. Make-up is happy, colorful, fresh and joyous, almost naïve.
