Ethnic Earthy

It all started with this wood inlay bowl in the center. The wood layers looked liked they were dyed with pigments in their purest state; like they were just recently dug up from the ground. I noticed that this new color combination moved away from the classic bright rainbow shades to a more muted and earthy color combination. I then started to spot that same color combination on the runways and accessories. With the use of orange as a grounding color with accents of turquoise and yellow with neutrals in the background, this color combination is weirdly fresh.
