New York Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Rodarte FABSUGAR (read full article)

If someone were to costume design a sci-fi ballerina flick, the result might be something like Rodarte’s Fall 2008 collection. Tattered loosely-knit fishnets, super studded gloves and Louboutin heels, and Degas-inspired tutus: they were all there.

Coloron sells their kit for just $30 and includes 20 applications. Or just get a smaller 5 pack to test it out for just $20. Seems like a perfect thing to get for when you travel or are on the go.

Since last September Pantone has been promoting these Spring 2008 color predictions – now it’s time to pay attention and pepper them into your wardrobe to bring fall/winter into spring.

Refreshing splashes of invigorating brights punctuate classic, versatile neutrals (aka all those greys you bought) as designers offer a playful spring palette for endless exploration and creative combinations.

Two prominent color waves Pantone says to expect:
Eye-popping Fuchsia, Magnolia, Teal, Scarlet and Burnt Orange grounded in rich, earthy tones, including Pebble Gray and Curry.

Purples that range from deep, saturated Blackberry, Plum and Aubergine to a Soft Lilac and Muted Boysenberry—the rich hues are often deepened by layers of Black silk net or lace, or sharply contrasted by a clean palette of Bone or Sakura.

I’ve been looking at my little booties and wondering how they were going to fit into spring. Well they’re not going away, but to be completely in style they’ve evolved to peep-toe booties.

Expect to see the updated oxford, slips of patent leather, and ribbons for spring 2008’s version of the ankle boot. And of course spring colors in trend – like pink.
