MJ S/S 08 analysis part 2

Not surprisingly, archromatic color scheme are used .
However, it is less than the previous season and
more colors are used this time.
A part of collection are still monochromatic color scheme.

Just like violet, pink and turquoise,
the proportion of them are much more than before.
Why is it like that?
It is because the theme of this collection is about transparency .
So, these pale colors can represent this theme.
Also, a few outfits are very fancy and we can greatly feel the spring
and the harmony of color.
