Class Work 4



I would like to follow the principle of order to design these various outfits~~
Principle of order:
This principle suggests that colors should be based on an orderly plan. This might be an analogous color scheme, a contrasting color scheme, or a triadic color scheme. This principle also advocates using equal differences.
And I used the contrasting colour scheme.




My favourite 5 outfits:

Same as the last few years, Rykiel is fond of using low chroma colour in Fall. In the collection of FW 07, she used red, olive beige and dark blue besides achromatic colour.

SS2008 COLLECTION













Balance of color



Variety of hue, light and dark values, and bright and dull intensities

all help to balance color schemes.











Emphasis of color


Advancing qualities of hue, value and intensity highlight a location

against receding qualities.







Alternation of color



Two colors changing back and forth in the same order lead the eye in the

direction of the regular exchange.












Sequence of color


Each color appears in a certain order to succession, keeps the same

position in each repeat, and leads the eye in the direction of progression.

Queen of Knitwear - Sonia Rykiel






F/W 2008 Collection






Colour Palette: Black, white, brilliant pink & Harmony tone(Candy-coloured): brown, pink, peach, yellow, light grey, pastel green, orange.



Though I'm not sure that the theme of this collection whether is "The swan" or not, I can see there is some features that can signify it. In the story of "The swan lake", there are two main roles - white swan and black swan, who represent positive and negative. I think that perhaps the designer may be inspirated from the story~~ Therefore, the main colour of this collection are black and white.
At the same time, since swan always gives us the feeling of gentle, sweet and fairy, therefore Rykiel would like to use the candy tone in this collection.
However, the reason why she use the brilliant pink to some outfits, I guess that it is because of the principle of novelty. In this principle, although people like harmoniours or balanced colour schemes, harmony quickly becomes boring. As a result, a new or unexpected combination wil draw attention to itself and make the entire composition more pleasing and harmonious.
