Tyrian purple (Greek: ???????, porphyra, Latin: purpura), also known as royal purple or imperial purple, is a purple-red dye produced by the ancient Phoenicians in the city of Tyre. The dye consists of a mucus-secretion of the hypobranchial gland of a medium-sized predatory sea snail, the marine gastropod Murex brandaris, commonly called the spiny dye-murex, a species in the family Muricidae, the murex or rock shells.

In the latest fashion shows all the models wore large necklaces and wrists-full of bracelets made of wood or shells and had their hair done in loose, soft upsweeps. Beatnik's black and white backstroke, led the group of 16-25 years old, serious and trim, a complete turn around ... gone is casual, throw-it-all-together, the school's ethnic style, with last season's Bohemian look, but with a brief demonstration. We saw sequined dresses, halters and shrugs in purple, green and gold costumes bath followed metallic theme: women wore tiny silver and gold bikinis, while men wore shorts or swimsuits in color prints. Last season's Bohemian look made a brief demonstration.
Many formal dresses updated versions of classic styles. A simple form of the knee-length strapless white gown was accented with a skirt of tulle ruffles around the waist. A long evening dress purple cracks in the front with a cloud of feathers beginning at the knee. Stay away from matte black - the key element is the combination of black and white, a crisp shirt, white with a pair of well cut black trousers, and looks at the rich fabrics like satin, silk and velvet, black sweater and white striped mohair dresses, worn over tights or pants well equipped, wearing black ballet slippers, patent slippers or with knee-high black boots, black wool cropped jackets and pea coats; Beatnik-style black caps, black eyeliner and mascara, sunglasses and straight hair. The hourglass silhouette is already a key aspect of this winter, but if you have a small well-toned frame, choose silhouettes less equipped, and add narrow, leather belts, retro shoes, vintage handbags and opulent fur, a striped Pompom scarf. Pompom decoration is a look design and very easy to do yourself. Back in style is an inspiration of wool change sixties, with a touch of Chanel and solid colors, as a white shirt and oversized black blazer, and rather than a revival of androgyny, is simply a matter of comfort and ease, black mini-skirt above the knee, boots, or a striped top or sweater [with a pair of skinny black pants.
Dresses have been the subject appears in the latest fashion shows, 'The dress wrap is making a comeback, and not in a cabinet style inspiration, but a dress with a waist, a neckline, a skirt and - most importantly - sleeves. The new autumn collections are full of dresses with sleeves of every shape and size - three-quarter length, cuffed, long and narrow, full and belled, Raglan and snorted, many in print as a pattern paisley print in a dress with long sleeves. Prints in shades of green, orange, pink and purple dominated the beginning the show. Shorts and skirts came in bright patterns that echoed back to the 1950s and 1960s. Modern technology, with improvements in jersey fabrics and stretch, makes a dress very comfortable to wear. Many young women want an all-in-one solution for work and business trips, instead of a skirt and top or a suit.

The black is not minimalist black as in the 1990s, rich deep velvet, black satin, black lace and accented with white only or red is the look for 2005. Black silk, black gauze, Persian lamb, black taffeta, penne velvet denim black, black cashmere, black jet, corduroy, black suede and Shear ling add a touch of sophistication and glamor to the new trends. Main colors are deep purple violet, wine red, burnt ginger tones, moss green, mustard and teal. The solid black and white can be very strong and intelligent, more gray and oyster shell tones. British country style tweeds have been in force, but this year is less textured tweed. It's more like Harris Tweed, flat or old blankets as controls in black and white hound's tooth checks. This is something that can continue into the night with sequins used to create the contrast, color controls Boldly vibrant, colorful plaids and wool fabrics are used in coats, dresses and skirts that are loose with flowing folds of fabric, or a Roman fashion, with lines of fixtures gold. Ironically, these heritage fabrics and shapes should be used in a peculiar way, confused, mixing Argyle knits with tartans, mantas and stingrays. Or, you can ask borrowed from the men, Ralph Lauren, style, and wear slouchy tweed trousers with brogues and oversized tissues and boucle wool suits in the style of the 50. Intarsia in knitwear is back again, like Fair Isle, ikat, bold abstract and Paisley agreements. Long cardigan jackets asymmetrical jacket and sweater jackets and coats often have fur collars or a narrow rim of skin tissues of Aran, usually not in the traditional cream but in richer deep shades of cream, green blue and rust role in many collections. rich fabrics and antique brocade fabrics, often interpreted with Ombre dyed materials like velvets that move through related colors such as burnt orange merging with reds to burgundy in Ombre dyed velvet. This velvet is then over printed in color or tone textured with embroidery. Velvet can also have texture and appliqué

Just remember that black in 2005 is not the only aspect to bear. The tissues of the deep, rich berry jewel jewel colors can do much more by its black color that could never. Berry purple color and will be a wonderful choice instead of black or as an accent. Techniques of Cubist painting and prints will lead us into Spring 2006 and the effects of screen printing, will be popular. He leaves behind gypsy skirts, kaftans, tribal jewelry, military jackets, waistcoats, drainpipes, shrugs and warrior belts point [finally!].
