Raspberry for fall?

I noticed a small, but exciting presence of red, burgundy, and raspberry in some of the Fall 2010 presentations.  Some looks were head-to-toe, and others were more subtle as a pop of color.


In the Burberry Prorsum collection, in the sea of off-white, mustard, black, and army green were pops of royal blue and raspberry.  This look came off as very fresh to me.  The economy in the US and other places are still slumping, and from what we have seen in the past few years is that people are wearing color in spite of the dreary economic forecast (overcast for a long-ass time).

In Dior, we saw in the sea off pretty chiffon, ruffles, and soft pastels some darker-toned raspberry accessories and clothes (as well as mentally-unstable-heiress hair *love*). 

After an army of black, Altuzarra presented quite a few all-raspberry and all-red looks.  I am also really like high slits and visible underthings lately. I think we may see more of this next year, though.

I loooooooved the peek-a-boo red from Ann Demeulemeester.  Her and Burberry's were among my favorite collections for Autumn/Winter 2010.

Like Dior, Balenciaga had a very pretty, fresh-faced, light-colored palette.  The darker colors, like this pair of dark raspberrypants and a few black pieces were stand-outs because of the spring-feeling show.

Well I hope you enjoyed it, I hope to see raspberry as the unexpected color to make an outfit.  There were shades of yellow and pastels that were unexpected as well for the presentations as well.
