  • Trend Aksesories untuk 2010
    Thursday, December 31, 2009
    Selamat Tahun Baru Manikers...Semoga acara tahun barunya menyenangkan yaaa...

    Nah sejalan dengan dimulainya tahun yang baru, yuk kita intip , perkiraan desain dan model aksesories yang diperkirakan akan menjadi "HOT" tahun ini. Simak yaa...

    Go GREEN!!!
    Ternyata bukan cuma pemakaian energi ataupun pembatasan penggunaan kantong plastik yang tidak ramah lingkungan yang ditanamkan dalam rangka memasyakatkan konsep "Green". Tetapi dalam desain aksesories tahun ini juga mengetengahkan konsep "Go Green", baik dari segi desain yang mengacu pada motif2 alami seperti kupu-kupu, capung ataupun motif ular, tetapi juga pemilihan material dan batu2an yang lebih "green" seperti quartz,beryl ataupu alexandrite, yang memiliki warna-warna alami seperti coklat ke arah kuning.

    Selain warna2 alami ini, warna2 pastel seperti hijau olive, coklat muda seperti warna kopi susu, pink salmon ataupun biru muda juga akan banyak menghiasi warna2 trend tahun ini.

    Dari segi desain, aksesori berkesan ringan dan transparan diperkirakan akan bermunculan dengan penekanan pada detail menarik pada salah satu bagiannya menggantikan desain2 berkesan berat dari tahun sebelumnya.

    Selain dari pengolahan bentuk dasar alami seperti burung dan pengimplementasian bentuknya pada desain dalam bentuk 3 dimensi, pengolahan bentukan ini juga dapat dimainkan dari sudut perpaduan warna. Misalnya warna shocking pink, dipadu dengan warna neutral seperti abu2 ataupun coklat muda. Campuran daripada warna2 menyolok yg kemudian kembali dipadu dengan warna monoton juga akan nampak pada musim kali ini.

    Selain bentuk binatang2 alamí ataupun bentuk dari alam lainnya, bentuk lain yg juga akan banyak ditemui adalah bentuk tidak beraturan daripada batu2an ataupun metal.

    Yang terakhir, gabungan beberapa material akan juga semakin memarakkan.
    So, manikers, sekarang ini kita keliatannya bakalan bebas berekspresi. Mau campur warna, campur material, campur aneka bentuk ...sah sah aja..asalkan masih mengacu kepada Go GREEN!!!!

    Salam Manik!
