Click the above picture the view it clearly=]



To a blaring soundtrack, '80s-inspired homecoming queens strutted their stuff: ruched jersey drawstring tops with punky poplin skirts, wide belts with studs and pastel appliqués, twill baggy shorts, and mile-high mesh stilettos. Then again, if you already lived firsthand through the stylistic excesses of the early to mid-'80s, you may not be ready for a full-blown Fiorucci revival. Relax, you need not hunt for your collection of neon bows and gummy bracelets. Look past the Valley Girl styling and you'll discover plenty of wearable, grown-up pieces in Jacobs' collection, like sharply cut cotton trousers, double-layered skirts and a beautiful canary-yellow silk paper taffeta dress.







Valley Girl Styling contains poplin skirts, wide belts with studs and pastel appliqués, twill baggy shorts. The colors used are pastel candy color, giving a sense of sweet.




The above picture, Analogous Color Scheme is used, although the color is not pink which is a cutie color, by applying Analogous Color Scheme and the values of the hues are quite low which give a pastel color. The overall outfit is still very soft and gentle.




Monochromatic Color Scheme is used, you would also see wide belts with studs in white is added. Which means, Jacobs fulfilled the theme his want to express.


Complmentary Color Scheme, again, it's red and green, which give us a feeling of fresh, teenage.


The show cannot end if there is no Achromatic Color Scheme, Jacobs is so clever that, he wants to bring out the image "Valley Girl" but he must have Achromatic Color, and so he used a plastic fabric to make the above coat. And this, surely can express the image "Valley Girl".

Jacobs gave a lively twist to his boiled-twill suits, silk jackets, and cashmere coats using oversized, childlike buttons. The effect was that of a young girl trying on her older sister's clothes, yet somehow making them all her own. Colorful trompe l'oeil lapels, ribbons, collars, and trims on simple georgette tops and dresses all added to the general feeling of naive elegance.




Actually, up to 60% of the collection used Achromatic Color Scheme to project the young girl trying on her older sister's clothes and the feeling of elegance. And the above picture, used complimentary color scheme, which add a little naive and elegance to the whole feeling.
