letter from the editor
A new season means a new color pallete. Drawn from multiple sources of inspiration, the Fall / Winter 2017- 2018 color trends were organized into four stories. The first, Aged With Beauty, tells a story of the elegance of growing old. From inspirations of centuries-old art and deteriorating natural forms, the Aged With Beauty pallete speaks through neutral tones. Sheer-idesence embodies the dusty, cool pastels with the ambiguous properties of iridescence. Drawing inspiration from fresh cut stones and airy clouds, the Sheer-idescence pallete displays soft pastels. Mad Mad World creates a mood of wild, fun, and off beat. From inspirations of wacky art, drug hallucinations, and desert heat, Mad Mad World embodies the brights. Feel So Surreal reflects an altered sense of a dramatic reality. From inspiration of surrealism art and an overly saturated and altered universe, Feel So Surreal displays deep jewel tones. Aged With Beauty, Sheer-idescence, Mad Mad World, and Feel So Surreal will drive color trends appearing in women’s wear fashion and accesories for Fall / Winter 2017- 2018.
