2008 Fall Ready to wear

Theme - Valley of the Dolls

John Galliano used "Valley of the Dolls" as the theme of this collection, and put elements of the 60's to his fashion designs: Mary Quant's mini skirts in sharp colors, and Twiggy's gigantic eyes make up.

Color family of the collection - Traid

Mainly 3 hues were used in this collection- Bright violet, Shinny lake blue and orange.
It is using the triad color scheme (three colors equally spaced with each others on the color wheel).

To bring variable visual effects, different colors were used to match with the major colors in different ways. Thus, the collection looks interesting and express a happy, fairy tale like feeling.

Analogous color scheme

Complementary color scheme

Violet match with shape greenish yellow, they look harmony due to the similar value.
Value added to handbag, grooves and shoes, the outfit looks more energetic, less boring.

[?] Diad (double complementary color scheme)

Violet and turquoise are complementary, while red and blue are complementary.
The two pairs of complementary colors goes well because violet + red are analogous, and turquoise + blue are analogous.

Achromatic scheme (appear in every FW Dior collections)
