Triad color scheme (Fashion shows) - Spring 2008 RTW



The Theme - Englishman in New York

Entering the 60th year of Christian Dior, John Galliano presented a new collection in the celebration, as a revival of all the patterns he has amassed through his ten-year career at Dior.

The Color family of the whole collection

We can see the atmosphere of 40’s fashion in colors. Archromatic BLACK and WHITE as the main colors obviously, applied at the beginning and the end of the collections at some unisex outfits (like hats, pantsuits...) regarding to the theme- Englishman. These two colors sometimes applied in stripes, which was a popular pattern in 40’s fashion.

There are also RED-ORANGE, LIGHT GREEN and LIGHT VIOLET applied at the middle of the collections with feminine evening gowns. Red, green and violet are Triad related on color wheel. But designer tried to switch down the value of green and violet to be lighter, made them not contrast too much. Otherwise, i think the whole collection will be too fancy for this theme.
