From gold to ochre and everything in between; yellow shades dominated the international catwalks. These tones too seemed very much inspired by jewels. Next to ruby, sapphire and amethyst, citrine looks were presented as well.
It looked elegant on some gorgeous evening dresses (Bottega Veneta, Valentino), but just as sophisticated on short little dresses (Lanvin, Dior). At Gucci the citrine was mixed with red and purple to create a high class fall look.
Check out some of the citrine looks we spotted on the runway.
Trend Report FW2011: Prints Charming

The best way to wear a print item coming autumn is to mix it with another print. Even if you suppose two prints will clash, wear them together. The crazier and brighter the prints, the better.
Whether if it’s letters (D&G), flowers (Betsey Johnson), geometric prints (Hermes) or something abstract (Alberta Ferretti).
Forget color coordinating and just go crazy on the new season’s prints and patterns.

For fall/winter 2011/2012 we’ve moved on from the bright color blocking looks to jewel tones. Still very strong and colorful, but with a little bit more warmth and sophistication in it.
Amethyst, sapphire, emerald, ruby, garnet and citrine are some of the jewel-inspired shades you’ll see this fall. Especially the amethyst colors rocked the international catwalks at Gucci, D&G, Alberta Ferretti and Versace.
Combine this shade with other rich colors and you’ll look & feel bejeweled!
Afraid you might end up looking like a purple Teletubby? Just go for a purple accessory like a clutch bag or a small belt.
