Gray: The color of sadness, the color of rainy days and now, the color of sophisticated style. This year the fashion world is seeing shades of gray and lots of it. Black will always be a fall staple of course, but lately we rely on a less severe version of the classic.
Gray has been a very refreshing color this fall because it provides the perfect canvas for bright jewelry, outspoken shoes and funky accessories. One favorite trend rocking the fashion world right now is the gray mono chromatic look. It’s slimming, flattering and it has a “cool” element that is both modern and fashion forward.If one is not careful, wearing gray can be quite dull. It is very important to layer, contrast and accessorize when wearing it. For those who may need a little inspiration for the gray trend this fall, here are some runway photos of designer fashion that just might have you seeing the world through gray colored lenses.
Anna Sui's Fall 2008 Collection included quirky dresses, shiny tights and wide variety of gray, textured fabrics. The way she mixed up different tones of gray here is genius. Sui took a color pallet that is often dull or boring and transformed it into a look that is both interesting and dimensional.Proenza Schouler is moving down the runway on full throttle and it shows no signs of stopping. In Fall 2008, true to their beloved style, they incorporated masculine shapes with feminine surprises. They master the gray color scheme in this collection by using draping and asymetrical chiffon sashes. Watch carefully because Proenza Schouler shows that the true secret to style is all in the intricate details.
Long live the American style king Michael Kors. If there were to be any master of gray this fall, wouldn't it be him? Four words come to mind as I view this collection: Simple, Chic, Easy Elegance. These monochromatic looks are rich and sophisticated but, the brilliance of it all is the fact that they are so easy to wear.
