Key Catwalk Trends/Ideas for Jewellery this Spring/Summer 2007
-The bold prints that are in, need a similarly bold, simple and structural piece of jewellery to set the print off. Floral prints are big, perhaps think about including flowers in your pieces.
-To go with the 80’s inspired fashion; mix black with hot colours, giving a powerful, punky edge to your piece of jewellery. Black Onyx here we come!
-African Prints. Wooden, ethnic, chunky pieces with an organic feel. I’m thinking, turquoise, tan leather and suede and copper chains.
-Tying in with the organic theme the catwalk also saw lots of natural themed jewellery with shells, raffia, chunks of natural looking stone, sea smoothed glass, wood and even rope!
Flowers, animals (especially dragon flies) and fruit can all be seen in jewellery at the moment.
-Bringing me to the nautical themes that are still around. Use red, navy and white to achieve the look.
-Miuccia Prada used plenty of bold colours this season. We will see plenty of vivid ultramarine and electric blue. So perhaps use blue Chalcedony, Aquamarine, Iolite and Moonstone to compliment these colours.
-Metallics/ Futuristic are big trends this spring and for those women not so sure about making a bold statement by wearing it head to toe, jewellery is the answer! Chainmaille/ unique wirework is a key look here to incorporate the catwalk into everyday wear. Silver is still as popular as ever.
-However gold is very popular indeed at the moment especially the warmer tones. Amber and Carnelian would do well for these warmer tones.
-The catwalk has also seen lots of chalky, earthy colours. Tying in with a more feminine theme. The vintage look is also in, so pearls are ideal to address both these styles. They are both vintage looking and come in a beautiful variety of soft hues, perfect to tie in with those softer feminine colours.
-Volume and classic style are big this season also. Think luxurious textures like satin and chiffon. I’m thinking of black and gold beads tied with black silk or deep red with creams.
-A look Christian Dior used which I love; using one colour and only varying the tones, this never fails to look good in jewellery and it’s also very wearable. Dior also used huge chunks of glimmering stones, a fantastic bold and theatrical look.
-Charm bracelets and necklaces are very big again this year, the customised look is always popular.
