From shiny cars to futuristic fashion: How metallic reflects the zeitgeist
Metallic colours have long influenced and reflected the spirit of the times.
During the space race in the 1950s, cars were built with tailfins to mimic rockets the metal particles in the metallic paint sparkled in the sun and emphasised the contours.
In the 1960s, designer Pierre Cardin bent fashion rules by hammering metal jewellery onto dresses so that they resembled the fine art and sculpture of the day.
And in the 1980s and 1990s, hip-hop artists accentuated their style with bling jewellery.
Today, gold and silver have spilled over into the mainstream, seen everywhere from metallic leather sneakers to rose gold smartphones. But why should materials get to have all the fun? Designers can print their silver and gold creations using the Xerox Iridesse Production Press, the Xerox Color C60/C70, and Xerox Color 800i/1000i presses.
