Looking for Spring 2009 trends in colors, fashion and jewelry and find that it is wide and varied; reading almost like a salad bar, paint store or crayon box. Search the Internet and one can find an array of information from the experts stating that this season is more about Chic, Classic, and Casual. "Pantone, the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, stated that this Spring 2009 color trend as Fuchsia Red, Salmon Rose, Palace Blue, Lucite Green, Super Lemon, Dark Citron, Lavender, Vibrant Green, Slate Gray, and Dust Rose."
“Spring traditionally evokes a sense of freshness and new beginnings, with sprouting shoots and blossoming flowers that inspire designers to breakout of the winter doldrums. Bright colors return to the top 10 list for spring ’09, as designers incorporate vibrant pops into their collections, yet temper the vibrancy with deeper, translucent or neutral tones.”
Other experts’ state to look for more urban moods in pales, bleached and artificial colors, with under tones of soft greys, neutrals mixed with flashy colors of black, electric blues, purple, orange, and purple-pink. All of this mixed with jewelry fashions for spring 2009.
Jewelry trends are as varied as the fashion and color trends. Bubble, chunky, unique, handcrafted and unusually shaped necklaces will make an appearance; along with more Tribal sculpture designs, mixing in charms and multi-layers. Earrings will be long like chandeliers and dangle; while large bangles and gemstone bracelets make a comeback.
“In 2009, jewelry is all about making a statement, be it a necklace, a bangle or a cocktail ring. From ethnic beading, to exotic stones, to avant garde pieces, the one thing is constant: it must be big and bold.”
