After chart making......something I can see...

Sonia Rykiel

After the research of the usage of color by the designer, We have analysis the color they have use, so we can have a further prediction.

We have base on the 9 theories.

Aromatic ,Analogical, Analogical and complimentary, complementary , Double complimentary , monochromatic, Split complementary and Triadic Color Scheme

The Charts are shown on before......

We also mention the common practice of the designer that she always match between achromatic and little monochromatic color.

The research base is from The style .com picture in Sonia Rykiel every year fashion show photographs.

We have separate F/W and S/S for each year and so the comparison can be made

The Spring one is in Natalie's blog

First for F/W, We can see the charts, Most frequency color present here is Achromatic

Obviously, The designer like to use achromatic scheme on her design

Black is the most often Hue

And..

The pattern of Sonia using achromatic/monochromatic scheme is similar for many years...

the chart shows that....very similar pattern from 2003 to 2006

However, we can see in this year2008 F/W collection,

And the pie of achromatic one is smaller and small

more small pies exists in this year

It implies more scheme is used in this year

Because of Sonia Rykiel's daughter entry?

Younger image is given

Of course.........↑ new color schemes use=↑ new design

Similarly, 2nd is the monochromatic scheme

hue of orange, Blue and yellow shown in monochromatic way

in high value high intensity dominant instead

Sonia sign....Sonia rainbow....always suddenly exist among the aromatic design collection

IT IS NOT STRANGE

because this phenomenon can be found from many year

if it is a common practice

it can also be said to quite consistency

no matter chromatic or achromatic

on outfit always one hue dominant.

That’s mean this designer focus on the theory of the proportion of color usage

So

different color combination like split complimentary

Double Complimentary Color scheme is rare to see

In these 2 years, more color theories are applied on design.

In last year F/W collection, many color scheme haven’t used by Sonia rykiel before suddenly present

Such as Complimentary scheme and analogic color scheme
