If world’s most beautiful woman, Mona Lisa was seen
in the famous picture made by Leonardo da Vinci, wearing green colour dress
then surely the colour has got some magic in it. Traditionally women dresses
were seen more in green colours than any other colour that proves the richness
of it. The Romans had a greater appreciation for the colour green and it was
said that green was the colour of Venus, the goddess of gardens, vegetables and
vineyards.
In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the colour of
clothing used to replicate a person's social rank and profession. Red could
only be worn by the nobility, brown and gray by peasants, and green by
merchants, bankers and the gentry and their families.
The theme of colour green put in dresses change its
shades with every passing season. It is also good for the eyes and gives
soothing effect on us. From local manufacturing to world famous natural
textiles, times are all changing in the fashion industry. What’s more needed,
the new look eco-fashion isn't just green – it’s seriously cool as well.
This season, it’s all about green. Whether
pistachio, eau de nil, emerald or mint, the planet’s style-setters have spoken
and green is officially announced as the colour of the spring. What’s more, if
the Fashion Weeks are anything to go by, green looks set to dominate our winter
wardrobes too sending mint green angora dresses and sculpted knits down the
runway.
Back in London, designers have also gone mad for
green, they are making wonderful little jackets in a vibrant grassy shade even
they are offering shades ranging from khaki to lime. But splashing the hue
across the catwalk isn't the only way in which the fashion industry is going
green these days. The modern day concept of eco-fashion is also introducing a
whole new sort of young designers to the market and introducing a whole new
concept.
