Color Theory: Metallic Shine for Spring, Time to Shine!

Shine! For Spring, Ralph Rucci, Altuzurra, Diane Von Fursteng, Jason We and other designers have shown little bit of metallic looks into their collections. 

Very cool hue of metallic look! It's so innovative to see cool tone of metallic fabric. Versace's Spring RTW runway definitely showed new and fresh look to the Spring.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             This dress by Givenchy shows feminine and glamorous look while the metallic luster gives chic atmosphere to it. It was very interesting to see both feminine silhouette yet bold medium of the dress.

This tile looking fresh design is by Tom Ford. This design shows very strong sense which gives the perfect match with metallic. Also the mosaic looking fabric made his runway more fun.

Mix matching with gold and silver! It can be known as the basic for metallic looks. But Saint Laurent's SS runway showed various way to mix match the metallic items. This gorgeous dress seems more lustrous due to the folds/ wrinkles on the waist line. 

Very pop color! It is another look of metallic. Purple, silver and royal blue goes together perfect! This metallic, shinny look and the colors come as one chic style. Also, we can guess by the choices of color and style that it is from Lanvin. 

Somewhat antique, yet modern design by Savatore Ferragamo's runway showed bit of metallic look in his own way. It was very interesting to see the trend that had been interpreted in his idea.

Red and HOT pink shinny look is by Lanvin. Like the previous look, this look also gives wild, tough, yet romantic atmosphere.

Anything Else?

In addition, if the whole thing about going metallic is too much for you, there is another way to follow the trend! Accessories can be the way of emphasizing with the minimized item. These clutches are by 3.1 Phillip Lim, Anya Hindmarch, and Proenza which can be purchase in store with reasonable price!

 Pop colors of metallic shoes! This can be the definite emphasize on your outfit! Following trend yet it is not too much! Especially this red pump by Roger Vivier gives sexy and romantic sense.

For Spring which have just started, let's not stick with old floral, girly prints and colors! 

Let's have fun with this tough, chic, yet romantic shines!
