September 27. 2006 _______________ Minority & Small Business Week pageA? Focus Awesome Autumn Natural Neutrals Define Fall Style A utum n is always the most exciting season in the fashion world. The playful sun and sw im w ear have been put away, and it’s tim e to get dow n to the real busi­ ness o f what's hot and what's not on the fashion scene. This year, the international fashion run­ ways clearly define fall as a season of sim ple, dram atic looks. W hen it com es to color, the black and w hite trend begun in the sum m er is definitely continuing, with grays, nudes and pale golds extending the neutral them e, and an occasional splash o f color com ­ ing from deep purple, red and even chartreuse. T ailored suits, long tunics, tw eeds and plaids Hair styles that are longer with gentle styles are in fashion for fall. will salute the long and lean look, while big collars, big sleeves, volum inous capes and sw ing jackets ramp that look up with new volume. A ccessories - almost gone for the past few seasons - are returning with a vengeance! Bags and shoes get bigger and chunkier, tex- lured leggings are all the rage, glos es slink up to the elbows, antique jew elry and watches are ever-present, and - dare we say it - fu ro r fur-trim m ed items arecs en sneaking haek onto fashion's "m ust" list. "H air styles and eolor are reflecting this softer, yet more austere silhouette." says Clairol C olor and Style Master grinette Pope. "H air will be worn longer, styles w ill be unstructured, natural, very low m aintenance, whether worn loose or pulled back softly in a ponytail or scarf. Haircolor will also be low m ainte­ nance. Enhance your natural color, add shine and brightness, with one of ten different brunette shades in the Beautiful Collection, a semi per­ manent haireolorthat is so gentle it can be used imm ediately fol­ lowing a relaxer treatment. If you want to elim inate gray or try a com pletely new shade, opt for a permanent eolor like rich gold or deep red from Textures & Tones. Smudgy eyelids and a bright slash of red lip color are all you'll need to com plete your new autumn palate."
