Reds/Oranges Fashion Mood Board
The main fashion trends for Autumn 2008/9 hinge on a good strong fashion color palette, which is rich and earthy. Such beautiful hues mean there is no better time to buy winter coats in colors that suit every complexion.
Fiery red with the tone which is found only on the ripest tomatoes is one of the more joyful new autumn fashion trends for colors of 2008. Red is a base for footwear, shoes and handbags as well as leather, satin and folkloric rose embroidery. It's perfect for party dresses to wear in the holiday season and looks wonderful when set against ruby red gemstones, garnets or Swarovski crystals.

Tones of red and purple are often paired together to create a vibrant color scheme that sings 'look at me'. Jewel colors also mean gems like amethyst, tanzanite and iolite make perfect accessories to lift garments in these colors .

Inky Blues Mood Board
The blues are rich, and range from blue black ink, royal sapphire, iris, and deepest kingfisher teal to soft turquoise. The glorious blue stone earrings shown centre below are from Dior.

Winter White Cream, Taupe & Cocoa Mood Board
The classic fashion mood board for winter features light shades of tangerine orange and crushed brown sugars. What you also get is a warm earthy palette that soon meets cappuccino, taupes and pink based cocoa. As winter is the coldest season, these colors often are so watered down and pastel they become a tint of winter white.
