The 'nostalgia' trend is currently touching all elements of our lives, from the food we eat to the TV series we are watching and the clothes we are wearing. In the past year or so there seems to have been a renewed desire for nostalgic sweets and deserts, from hard boiled sweets, to sherbet dips, Angel Delight and Battenberg. More and more, we are seeing the styles of yesteryear influencing the clothes we wear, from the 50s inspired prom dresses to the office chic of Mad Men. The nostalgia trend is everywhere. The best thing about the 'nostalgia trend' is that we look back to the best bits of the past, and make them relevant to our modern lives. We might not accept the sexist views of the male characters in Mad Men, but we can take inspiration from the fabulous clothes the women wear!
Equally, the hottest hues for interiors in 2012 are inspired by the stunning style of bygone days. The beautiful new palette introduced by Dulux this year, is influenced by our favourite shades from yesteryear, with both classic 'vintage' hues and statement retro shades, coming to the fore.
From subtle, classic shades such as Georgian Cream and French Clay, to high-impact retro hues like Satire & Agathia Green, there's a shade you are bound to love. So why not embrace the past and stay on trend in 2012.
