Color trend: Technicolors from the contemporary art

The strong colours, full cantons, artificial,  almost fluorescent colors are the protagonists of the s/ s season 2011.

The inspiration for the technocolor trend is the  abstract and expressionist contemporary art which turns colours into his strength.
