"Culture versus Cult"
Time Out
At the beginning of this new millennium and certainly at the end of the last century the present, the "now" moments, and the huge curiosity and longing for "tomorrow" and an even more remote future were major influencing factors in fashion. Looking back did not make sense, we wanted to live in the now.
Actuality was very important because the world changed so quickly, there were so many new developments, and we had high expectations of the new time and "the new economy". Almost nothing is left from these "dreams". They seem to have been a soap bubble, a fairy tale.
The millennium bug was the first threat and big joke that shook us up with fear. Nothing happened. In the meantime, more remarkable events than ever in such a short period of time happened and became important anchor points.

Dorlastan Color Trends for Spring - Summer 2007
Between yesterday and tomorrow, from nearly colorless to full shade, from warm to cold. Colors in motion; they spice the season. Not without the E of e-motion.
When black is back - as it strongly is now - (did it ever go away?), white is in competition and looking to get front stage this summer and to become the season's star.
Pure, buttery, creamy and tinted. Retro feeling and grandmother's white linen; whites also as a sign for ‘Kaballa' influences. Whites and neutrals have traces of color and are here and there accompanied by real colors.
Real colors need the neutrals, they move into each others direction and influence each other
PANTONE® Unveils Fashion Color Report Fall 2007
Complex and exotic describe the intriguingly unusual and inviting color palette for fall ‘07.
The traditional neutral shades expected for autumn have been replaced this season with rich, nuanced hues, offering more opportunity for creativity with interesting and unexpected color combinations.
Spicy Chili Pepper and exotic Lemon Curry stimulate the taste buds, entice the senses and enliven any wardrobe. Purple Wine, the ultimate expression of creativity, marries purple and wine, broadening the appeal of purple for fashion. The violet undertones of Dusk give gray a whole new dimension, making this fall’s neutral much more desirable.
Carafe, a deep, espresso brown, adds contrast to the palette, providing a rich alternative to the usual black or charcoal. Sumptuous Cashmere Rose is not only the perfect complement to any of fall’s colors, but also flatters any complexion. Many seasons have paid homage to nature, and fall ‘07 is no exception.
Shale Green takes the shade in a murky, blue/gray direction, while foliage-inspired Green Moss goes to the yellow side. Earthy Burnt Ochre is this autumn’s orange and sophisticated Stargazer continues the trend of turquoise, but with a deeper intensity. “Designers find inspiration in a variety of places, but one thing they all have in common this season is a rich, complex color palette to stimulate creativity,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®.
“Nuanced colors with subtle undertones enhance the ever-present neutrals and allow for clever and extraordinary color combinations. Pairing designer pieces with mainstream staples has become a way of life, and color adds an important dimension for expressing one’s unique sense of style.”
