Black is still the king of colors, and this season it is on display in all its fascinating aspects. Black is rock, glam and punk. It’s romantic, boho, tribal and futuristic. Think black is not ‘happy’ enough for the cold season? New and unusual combinations of materials and textures create a touch of excitement to counter the grim, grey days. The must-have item is the ‘Chanel-style’ jacket, which you can find in an endless variety of interpretations and for all kinds of budgets. Add sparkling details to your black basics: studs, beads and even bright crystals. Create a shiny night look with materials treated with a top coat of gold, thick textures and rich geometric patterns. Black still reigns—because black is whatever you want it to be.
