New York Fashion Week - Black Black Black
Once again, like clockwork, New York Fashion Week is behind us. And if you're anything like me, your eyes were glued to all of the Fall 2019 runway shows of all the top and best-known designers. What did I see? Lots and lots of black clothing.
Seriously? I was hoping to find some vibrant clothing that might inspire new color combinations for Dunitz & Company's fair trade jewelry collections. I discovered a bit. But what I mostly saw was a sea of black and grey from all the names you know, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Cynthia Rowley and more.
The silver lining? If women are strutting their stuff in monochromatic black (next winter), I can offer all kinds of colorful baubles. What better backdrop for shades of purple, jade and burgundy is black? One of my best strategies for coming up with fabulous color combinations is to hone in on what were our best sellers in the past.
Ya know what? I'm a bit guilty when coordinating my own wardrobe. I wear a lot of black. And certainly these top designers recognize that most women do. They know it sells. 'All black' is an easy "uniform" for many of us. How often have you seen me at a trade show not in black?
So, get it on. Doll up in all of your black clothing for Fall 2019. You'll be right on trend. And you'll be able to adorn yourself with just about any color of gem or bauble that steals your heart. Dunitz & Company's fair trade jewelry, always designed with rich colors will be your perfect add on. -ND
