Trend Report - Summer 08 A Dash of Colour says it All!  Pick a Colour, Any Colour and Have Fun with It!! Our summer at BII has arrived!  This season brings bold, bright colours to fashion.  There is a colour for everyone!  Do you look best in a tomato red or claret red; mango orange or coral; lime green or olive green; butter yellow or banana yellow; turquoise blue or navy blue;  lavender purple or deep plum?   Colour says a lot about who you are:  red says passion, orange is adventure, yellow says innovative and idealistic; green says generous & giving, blue says gentle and loyal and finally purple says enigmatic & unconventional.  Not one for all that colour?  Metallic silver, light grey and white continue to be strong for this season, why not punch it up with a brightly coloured accessory such as a bright red clutch bag. The Look for Summer 2008  is FUN!   You can be  Fun & Funky – metallic & shiny colours, with flirty dresses or Retro/70’s Free Spirit – silky tunics, tribal beat feel & bold geometric prints and cropped jackets with ¾ sleeves, or  Sweet & Demure – ruffles, feminine feel, lacy see-through fabrics and patent leather, or finally BOLD & Beautiful –  vivid colours & prints, wide leg pants In BoldColours Fun & Flirty Dresses Knee length Shift Dresses Graphic & Geometric Prints Fitted Jackets Tunics with leggings Thin Knit Cardigans Peep-Toe Flats White Pants – a summer must Straight leg & Wide leg Out Low Rider Jeans Ankle Length Prairie Skirts Sweater Sets Hawaiian Prints Chunky Black Shoes All Black Accessory Trends Patent Leather bags & shoes Funky clutchs and patent clutchs Scarf – wrapped, drapped, knotted, twitsted around the neck Big Bangles – colours, wood, resin, metal Thin belts Statement Necklace – big and bold
