South American Colours:
One of the
strongest trends
coming through for
S/S 2010 is a South
American influenced
trend with a mixing
pot of ethnic
influences. There
are large rustic
prints: Mexican and
Aztec motifs as well
as Indian
ornamentation mixed
with Hispanic
colours and Latin
American
dance-inspired
fabrics and shapes.
Fabrics are rustic
and retro with fresh
cottons and rough
weaves, linens and
macramé’s
embellished with
lots of coloured
embroidery and
appliqués. One thing
that is certain is
that the colour
palette is
beautiful: Aztec
blue, ochre yellow,
clay, tomato,
coffee, cactus green
and burnt umber make
a refreshing and
wearable palette of
“summer darks”.
