Fashion is changeable and capricious. She makes rapid jerks, then declaring the item obsolete this season, then suddenly resurrecting it in the next one only under the name "vintage". Tracking her, in general, is impossible. And, honestly, not so necessary. It is worthwhile to create your own style and appropriate wardrobe with careful attention to fashion trends. However, we will not ignore them at all, because for some reason, designers come up with more and more new trends, variations and combinations of such familiar and unfamiliar things. On the eve of our favorite winter holidays, let us turn, perhaps, to the very loudly announced by many couturiers trend - pure colors! And not just to the colors taken "from the ceiling", but to all shades of precious and semiprecious stones, which now dominate not only in jewelry, but also in clothing and accessories.
Divine Amethyst
Amethyst is a stone of beauty and sanity. Its color varies from dark purple to lilac, and the more saturated the shade has a stone, the more valuable it is. The ancient Romans considered it a stone of peace, grace and endowed with the ability to resolve differences. He was greatly appreciated by the clergy and was often used in the manufacture of church decorations and utensils. It was believed that amethyst helps from drunkenness, so cups and goblets were cut from it. The magical properties of amethyst also included the ability to drive away bad thoughts, smooth wrinkles and reduce freckles. This stone is an excellent companion of people of intellectual and creative professions. All shades of purple and lilac are one of the favorites of the upcoming winter season. Noble transitions from light to dark, bold combinations with silver and gold, exquisite details - and here it is, a divine image from which it is impossible to look away
Eternal Sapphire
Sapphire is a stone of victory, power and eternity. The most famous of its shades is deep blue, but sapphire can be blue, purple, yellow, green and even pink. It is known that jewelry with this gemstone was worn by such famous historical figures as Alexander the Great and Maria Stuart. It was used to decorate the crowns of the British and Russian empires. In the east, it was believed that a vessel made of sapphire could ennoble any drink poured into it, since it was believed that the stone itself was a petrified drink of immortality, which was previously available only to the gods. The dark blue color does not leave the design collections for many seasons, each time presenting itself to the public in ever new variations ...
Delightful Emerald
Emerald is a stone of admiration and wisdom. The word "emerald" has come a long way from Sanskrit - "zamorod" to the Persian "zumrundi", which meant - "green". From the Persians and Latins, our ancestors borrowed the name stone "smaragd" - the so-called emeralds in Old Slavonic. Emeralds were mined from the mines of Ancient Egypt under Queen Cleopatra. The emeralds were loved by the Queen of Sheba, and the Roman emperor Nero looked into the smaragd glass, watching the battles of the gladiators. From ancient times, the emerald was considered the talisman of seafarers and mothers. Emerald amulets were recommended to be worn by scientists, researchers, and philosophers. This is a stone of mind and composure, it does not tolerate insincere people, for those who lie, it brings illness and misfortune. In fashion collections, the emerald green range has a new sound. Today, emerald shades are combined with gray, blue, yellow and even fiery red. Designers are sure that almost everything goes green, the main thing is to choose the intensity that suits your type of appearance.
The many faces of tourmaline
Tourmaline is a talisman of love and victory, hope, unfading youth and strength. It is multicolor: it is black, brown, red or pink, green, blue and white. The number of shades reaches 50. Tourmalines are charms from the evil eye, spoilage, harmful creatures and people. These stones protect artistic nature from barren throwing, give recognition and the power of fulfilling designs. It is believed that tourmaline is a stone that develops creative abilities. And if so, then we begin to create our new look, choosing textures, colors, shapes and silhouettes. As versatile as life itself, as diverse as precious tourmalines ...
Passion ruby
Tears of dragons and drops of blood of the gods, frozen flashes of fire and unceasing passions ... All these are rubies that the ancient Slavs called yachts. Today, high-quality rubies are valued on a par with diamonds, and there was a time when these stones were worth and much more expensive, for example, the ancient Romans. Mysterious legends go around rubies. They were considered stones that bestow and support life. Rubies protected from the plague and the devilish machinations. Rubies inspired great deeds and actions - the stone was ground into powder and added to wine. In times of danger for owners, the ruby changed color, so people believed that it was undesirable to part with this stone. However, no one is going to do this. Red - again at the peak of winter fashion! And no wonder, because a ruby is a stone of fire, and in winter it lacks heat and passion.
Sunny amber
Amber is a petrified tree sap of fossil trees. The English word “amber” (amber) came from the Arabic language - “anbar”. Knowledgeable people believed that these pieces of resin accompany creativity, strengthen faith and optimism, physical strength and energy. Even in ancient Rome, there was a fashion for amber. Amber received recognition and appreciation not only for its beauty, but also for its protective and healing properties. Emperor Nero preferred black amber. A tiny amber figurine was then worth more than a good slave. If an insect froze in amber, its value increased. For example, the Phoenicians gave sixty daggers and one hundred and twenty swords for a piece of amber with a fly. The standard of amber was transparency and color. In the west, golden-clear and honey-stained amber was especially valued. The East preferred milky white and transparent yellow amber with greenish tones. What kind of color of this "droplet of the sun" you decide to try on depends on personal taste preferences. But to meet the snowy winter in a light sunny cloud, perhaps, will be nice.
Camel race
It seems that such a name can be given to most fashion shows in autumn and winter, and not for the speed of movement of fashion models on the catwalk, but for one of the most noticeable trends of the season, which the camel has become! Yes Yes! Do not be surprised. Coats and jackets, hats and scarves, gloves, handbags and shoes this season are painted in warm and cozy shades of camel hair. Classic cashmere coat silhouettes in cream butterscotch colors, warmed ankle boots and over the knee boots, numerous variations on the theme of warm camel ponchos have taken their place of honor in many design collections. And this can not but rejoice! And warm, and comfortable, and surprisingly beautiful. What else is needed in anticipation of winter?
Facial, seamy, wrap ...
The modern rhythm of life does not involve evening gatherings in an armchair with knitting needles in hand. Yes, and many women have already lost the skills of hand knitting, which their grandmothers possessed, and at most, are able to knit a scarf. And it’s not very long, because neither time nor patience is enough. What to do if you want to wrap yourself in a fashionable and voluminous hand-knitted cardigan?
The answer is simple - buy it! Without exception, all fashion houses presented knitwear for the season, as if hand-knitted, and not always in the most accurate way - there are flat loops, uneven necks, and sizes (especially in women's collections), as if from a man’s shoulder ... In a word, voluminous knitwear this winter - is necessary, like air. Colors and textures - any. Dimensions - the larger the better. At the height of fashion - knitted coats, dresses and skirts "a la 1970s". So, if you have any things thirty or forty years old lying around in the country or in your closet, feel free to take them out and carry them. Don't like junk? Then, we pick up the needles and begin to create - the front, the back, the crochet .... Call when you call.
