ITC 3401

Riccardo Tisci definitely continues to make use of his own aesthetics, that is the dark romance in Goth. Usually portraited by the achromatic colour scheme - BLACK + WHITE + GREY and others alike. In fact, Tisci had once mentioned that he likes black and white very much. So, there are not many reasons for him to change his taste.

Then I found this picture of Gothic Church from National Geographic. This is the church that French builders of the 1100s first dared to fashion heaven's image in soaring cathedrals of stone. Entrances were through portals worthy of paradise, and the sanctuary was charged with light pressed through glass tapestries radiant with faith.

The Gothic building boom reflected an era of growing power for the monarchy, the cities, and the bourgeoisie, and the cathedrals expressed civic pride fully as much as ecclesiastical glory.

From the colour analysis of the picture, we can see there are colours of blue and green shades. which are in analogic colour scheme as well as some natural colour. Blue and Green are generally accepted by people in all countries. In addition, blue and green indeed add some 'colours' to the darkness of Gothic scene. At that time, it is considered to be edgy. The coming season S/S 2010 Tisci may try to use them in his collection as something new while blue and green are hits for spring and summer.

You can see that, apart from analogic, there are also monochromatic and triads in these colours.

In fact, we could see the forecasting report from stylesight.com, there are also some dark shades of blue and green. Apart from that, there are violets and reds.

Some earth tones can add some relatively exciting and contrasting elements for the greens.
Greens make people feel comfortable and it reminds the modern people nature.

Tisci likes to use elements from Church, especially Gothic Church and Romanticism. Therefore, it is likely to use black, white and earth tones. They will probably dominate the coming collection.
