Terry's Diary

Interesting series of model snapshots on the new blog of Terry Richardson.  

We continue to be obsessed by the colourstory of pale skin and blonde hair... now enter accent colours of red-eye and chapped lips.

Pastel Cats

Michael Hoppen Gallery in London is hosting a group show on the subject of Colour.  An inspiring photo is always a great starting ground for a fashion colourstory, and this isn't the first Tim Walker photograph to get us thinking about colour in recent months.

We have a feeling about lavender for Fall...

Pygmy Baby Seahorse

Coucou little seahorse!  This is just about the cutest argument for the colour Coral we've seen in a long time.  

Like Clockwork

What is up with the colour Orange and Resort 2010?  Was there a memo sent out?  So far, like 80% of the collections have at least one silhouette dedicated to orange.  Here are a bunch of examples.  The softer versions of the colour are very beautiful, as well as red-oranges closer to the bottom.

Off-White

As the resort collection photos roll in on Style.com, we immediately noticed a lot of beige, écru, cream, sand and off-white.  Somehow for this season it comes off as romantic and dreamy, chic yet modest.  Even backdrops and tan skin support this trend.  We approve.  The Alexander Wang lookbook photo below would make a great colour reference for a collection, from the hair to the skin to the belt to the shoes.

Tri-Colour Perfection

So in love with the white + off white + yellowy/creamy Chloë goodness.  Want to dress like this everyday...

Chanel's Pale Green

For Fall 2009, Chanel showed a mainly black and white collection with only two exceptions: baby pink and pale green.  The baby pink made everyone look fat but the pale green was genius.

This green palette of granny apple, sea foam, pale moss - all these soft and grayish greens -  have been on my mind for a while now. They feel very fresh.  It's a nice depart from the chartreuse colour trend that's been going on the last few years and that blinds me every time I go into Monoprix.

I declare pale green is going to be major for Spring 2010.
