Ready To Wear Trends, Spring 2011:
The Spring 2011 seasonal color message is heavily inspired by reflections mirroring the ocean’s multi-hued surface. Watery tones of aqua, turquoise, teal and marine illustrate the key palette.

Take a fashion voyage to an urban island where a neutral palette is the landscape and the horizon is populated with dense shades of green.
