PINK AND BLUE FLASHES OF THE SHADES!

The year 2022 would be the year of periwinkle: a soft, soothing shade-giving baby blanket vibes. Maybe we could have used a swaddling palette after the past two turbulent years, but the breakout colour trend of 2022 couldn’t be farther away in spirit. It turns out fashion designers wanted something brighter, bolder, and more energetic: They wanted hot pink and dynamic blue.

As we attempt to break down why we wear what we wear, and codify the qualities of different garments, it’s worth starting with colour. An already well-established notion, colour psychology looks at the moods, qualities and emotions associated with the shades of Pink and Blue.

In the 21st century, the style trends of the fashion industry dominate the world more than they ever did and control not only the way people dress but also trends in homeware design, makeup fashion and people’s overall attitudes. In the 60s flower power did not only mean flares and tunics, but it also summed up the whole attitude of a generation, and this is even more prominent today.

Nowadays, fashion is bold and daring, and this reflects a noughties generation that is not afraid to say what they think or wear what they want.

Celebrating life’s special occasions is one of the most joyous things in the world. When it comes to fashion, this means wearing something that you love and something that expresses who you are. Fashion photography is a popular photography genre, but it is also highly competitive. Understanding the different types of fashion photography can give you the edge you need to both understand the field and impress potential clients with your images.

The phrase “leap of faith” must be indelibly imprinted on the mind of just about every young designer who has decided to go it alone with their own label today.
