Eco green
The push for environmental awareness is reflected with shades of green from electric jades to subdued olives. Look for leaves and other foliage forming bright, attractive patterns.

Orange and Yellows
Fun and vibrant these statement colours are making a big impression on the catwalk in Derek Lam and Lanvin’s bright orange and yellow dresses. When used in interiors these hues stand out against subdued backgrounds and add warmth and drama to any living situation.

Gothic Glam
A return to old school Hollywood glamour, with a darker twist. Materials play a big part of this style in fashion with lace, sequins, pearls and patent leather paired with gold metallics. On the table, black is here to stay and it’s more dramatic than ever.

Ethnic Brights
Vibrant ethnic prints are raising their profile using this season’s oranges and yellows. Native American patterns using feathers and coloured leather as well as African motifs and Asian batiks make a great look for interiors.
