ONE WORLD FASHION



NICE N NATURAL
The fabrics of the ‘One World’ theme are, as you would expect, mostly natural with real (or faked!) hand-made’ looks as key features. Ethnic crafts such as batik, dip-dying, tie-dying and block-printing are used on entire fabrics while embroidery and fringing are used as decorative touches on garment borders and accessories.

TOUCH OF LUXURY
While natural cottons, linens and denims dominate, more luxurious fabrics such as silks and satins are also popular and help to add a touch more glamour to an otherwise casual theme. These luxurious fabrics also lend themselves well to animal-print designs which always integrate effortlessly with ethnic-inspired fashion. Soft leathers and suedes are the final fabrics to complete the One World’ picture - used mostly for jackets and waistcoats but with occasional use for skirts and even trousers.







EARTH AND SKY
The palette for this theme is mostly the rich, earthy shades of brown, olive, rust and gold mixed with all shades of blue - from the darker denims, through the palest sky tones to the brightest hues of cobalt and turquoise. Prints, such as checks and paisleys, often combine many of these colours to great effect and can themselves be combined together for a 70’s ‘dippy-hippy’, summer look.
