Fashion Flowers For Autumn - Harvest Mix

Autumn is a time of abundance - nuts and berries and fruits and flowers ripen and fall. Colours are rich, warm, deep - berry reds, wine-reds, plums, warm purples, yellow-greens, greengage greens, sunset oranges. The colours of jams and chutneys, pickles and pies. These colours are enlivened by the addition of creamy white touches, like a mushroom bursting out of the leaf litter on the forest floor.

The mood of the autumn 2000 trend, Harvest Mix, is that of Harvest Festival - nature's seasonal bounty. This suits the autumn mood of the "fruits of one's labour" - a return on investment - and the new interest in organic and home-grown produce. This fecundity is contrasted with the sculptured clean lines of the designs - many with strong Japanese influences in both the containers and the placement of foliage and flowers.
