Colors have been influenced by the increased use of natural fabrics -- raffia, wood, crochet, wicker, linens, and burlap.
More focus is made on natural and organic ways of living influenced by fabric selection as well as color.
People tend to associate organic color with bland taupe and organic fabric with scratchy wool.
Organic or natural theme runs like a thread through colors, fabrics and construction.
Colors and fabrics are more serious and understated this fall and winter.
Meticulous attention is given to design, drape and movement for outlines that are traditional and structured, yet modern and comfortable.
The season's signature colors are more muted and natural in feeling and more sober and less saturated.
Soft cashmere, cotton, flax and other fabrics lend themselves well to softly constructed pieces from pants and sweaters to capelets and coats.
Shoppers don't see natural and organic as a color; they see it as fawn, but, in fact, there are many colors such as earthy palette with beautiful textures and colors like coffee, indigo, moss, stone, wheat and maize is the new face of natural.
Many designers anchor their collections in black, gray and navy not just because they complement any color, but because they perceived these neutrals as the new colors.
Accessories go beyond mere accents, adding exclamation points to fashion statements and are very luxurious.
Some accessories are strong and really bold, too; chain necklaces, cuff bracelets, metallic shoes and yellow gold is really back strong.
