David Jones might have painted Sydney Town Hall red for its winter 2006 collections launch last night but the hit colour of the season ahead is black.As seen at saturation point on the international runways, black is set to be one of the hottest looks this year for cool climate dressing.
The firm fashion favourite appeared in various guises last night - lightened by liberal splashes of colour - executed by many of the country's designers in a lavish showcase themed "Winter in the Orient".
Lisa Ho, Morrissey, Zimmermann and sass&bide were among the many labels championing sooty tones in a move that has pleased DJs as black is good for business.
"We call it a woman's best friend," David Jones collections general manager David Bush said. "It looks spectacular on everyone. It's slimming, it's versatile, it's glamorous."
Floaty print dresses, pencil skirts, opaque tights, luxurious coats, soft blouses, leather gloves and beatnik-influenced minis are all new ways to wear black this winter.
The black cloud lifted for a rainbow-hued finale by Akira - one of the department store's first Australian designer acquisitions.
Starring Megan Gale in a cobalt blue-and-white vintage kimono, it ended the show on a high note.
The show - to be seen in five states over five weeks - is at the Elizabeth Street store from 11am daily until Saturday.
