What is ombre? For those of you who never heard of this word before, ombre is a term used to describe a pattern of blending colors. The ombre look was first made popular by Prada. They introduced a patent leather handbag line with the ombre look. The best way to describe the ombre look is to picture a sunset. The sunset starts with the blue sky at the very top and as you look lower, it becomes more orange, then more red, then more purple, and eventually more dark. This color scheme is the ombre look.
Though the ombre look is outdated for handbags, it is now popular for hairstyles in 2012. Many celebrities and fashion gurus are adopting this scheme. See above picture of Lily Aldridge. Lily Aldridge is a professional model known for her works with Victoria’s Secret.
