Home > Mini Snoops > Shows: Fall Preview 2005 The forecast is in for fall 2005, and it looks like anything goes! We’ve seen everything from soft and romantic styling to city sleek and funky looks. One thing is for sure; gray is the most important color of the season. Whether it’s mixed with ballerina pinks or bright vintage crochets, it acts a clean neutralizer. Prints are important too, ranging from cartoon characters to flowers and plaids. Chunky layers and appliqués also play an important role. Take a look at some of the best themes going forward!
