fashion forecast: winter 2014, spring 2015

Early fall's overdose of gray, light gray, medium gray,

 dark gray, charcoal gray, marled gray and 

related and coordinating tones, now admits

 a pop of another color: taupe.

 Here we see some relaxed silhouettes, 

highlighting the drapey, flowy, not-too-tailored,

 indeed effortless, effects of the interplay

 of dark taupe, light taupe, marled taupe, and umber.

Wraps, scarves and headgear continue 

the color story of gentle neutrals, saved

from utter dreariness by interesting mixes of texture.

Runway looks featured undone hair,

messy hair, straggly hair

and exaggerated contouring.
