enjoy?

Finally finished my forecasting of colour tone of Fall 2010 RTW collection of Dolce & Gabbana but it 's a pity that we need to do the assignment in this semester which might be the most busy semester in our 2 years ITC 's life. I think this project is supposed to be enjoyed but not having a rough time like now i 'm facing if we could meet this project in our leisure time.

As we all know, ITC is the most busy department within the whole POLYu . We don't really have much time to join those after-school activities in order to enrich our school life or let alone to become a real university student.

But I think it is worthwhile for us to be such a busy guy. Though we cannot have a various school life , we are well trained to be a talent that Robert has mentioned in the 3rd tutorial class before.
We might not read a book of Sigmund Freud when we sitted under the tree or being the chairperson of the Student Union but we also experienced a lot from what we are learning now.

Thanks Robert anyway, though i am too lazy on your subject but I still get something useful from your words and I will remember those words you have said in the 3rd tutorial class.

forecastingggggggg

After analyzing those collection in the past of Dolce & Gabbana, I predict that Dolce & Gabbana will use Dark Magenta , Dark Red , Grey , Midnight Blue in 2010 fall RTW collection .

Black and White are included for sure. Both Black, White and Grey are essential colours in fashion. It is proper for designers to treats them as major colour of clothing. So, I wonder that Dolce & Gabbana will continue to use these three colours to complete the collection in the 2010 winter.




In 2006-2009, dark red and dark purple didn't appear in Dolce & Gabbana 's collection. The last time that Dolce & Gabbana use purple colour as a minor colour tone is in Spring 2005 RTW collection , it is possible that Dolce & Gabbana will use dark purple as their major colour tone in the coming fall season.

Dark red and Dark purple represents mystrey. And the image that Dolce & Gabbana gives us is that is mystery also. Dark purple is match with what Dolce & Gabbana presents.

Furthermore, using red color as a main colour in the collection is a habit of Dolce & Gabbana . Since it havn't red colour in serveral collections , so I have mentioned a reasonable forecast that Dolce & Gabbana would use Dark Red as a main colour in the coming fall collection.

Spring 2006 RTW collection

Also, Dolce & Gabbana loves using Midnight Blue.Dolce & Gabbana has used Midnight Blue in Spring 2009, Fall 2009 as a minor colour tone in its collection. Midnight Blue is a nice colour when it acts as a foil . Trend goes by a tendency , that's why i choose to predict the fall RTW collection in 2010 will contain Midnight Blue.

As the girls—including Elvis' angelic granddaughter Riley Keough, in demure black velvet—clustered on the orchid-pink leatherette banquettes of the Regine's-inspired disco set, one model sped past in a high-neck, long-sleeve black lace gown that looked conservative enough for Mrs. Bush. Until she turned her back, revealing the sheer, unlined lace back that flashed an emerald-green bra and panty set. Perfect for the next Super Bowl.

Advertisment of Dolce & Gabbana

Most of the Ad. of Dolce & Gabbana are topical and stick in public's gizzard. But it is gorgeous concededly. The idea of the Ad. of Dolce & Gabbana are amazing and the properties of the ad. are very serious .

Snap shooooooooooooooooot anywhere

As WGSN has announced a project on the lesson that is taking 50 snap shots with 50 different people to see what they dress, we all took our camera everywhere and tried to snap anywhere.

But it was really hard for us to ask someone to snap for us. We were rejected for nearly hundred times. Aren't we look like trickster? ;P

Sadly, time has gone and we couldn't snap 50 shots but there are still 4-5 nice shots that was taken by me. Let me introduce them all to u .



This is a jade bracelet which is wearing by me. I bought it from a street vendor in Mainland and i have never think about whether it is real jade or not. I just fall in love with it when i saw it at my first sight. Now, i have worn it for more than 4 years.

BEST WORD

3.to oppress and destroy the people





Undoubtedly, this is the best word to describe Dolce & Gabbana . As I am a Chinese, I couldn't find a English word that are more appropriate for Dolce & Gabbana.



To Robert:
