COLOUR TREND REPORT A/W 18/19


LETTER FROM THE EDITOR WHILE THE FIRST CHALLENGE OF PAIRING COLOURS CAN BE DIFFICULT, THE REAL CHALLENGE IS TRANSLATING THEM INTO YOUR WARDROBE THAT TIES IT ALL TOGETHER. AS FASHION STUDENTS, WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD AROUND US, AND HOW FASHION IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING. THE INSPIRATION COMES FROM PASTELS, NETURALS, DARKS AND BRIGHTS. MANY OF THESE STORIES AHEAD ARE INSPRIRED BY ARCHITECTURE AND INCORPORATE STRUCTURE AND FLUIDITY, WHILE STILL BEING FREE FLOWING. THE BRIGHT COLOURS PROVIDE A BREAK AND ADD LIGHTNESS TO THE LOOKS, WHILE STILL INCLUDING THE TYPICAL DARK PALETTE COLOURS EVERYONE IS FAMILAIR WITH EVERY FALL SEASON. EACH STORY HAS A DIFFERENT THEME, WHILE STILL TYING IN THE SAME ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPTS THROUGHOUT. EACH PALETTE HAS THE ABILITY TO BE EXPANDED AND EXPLORED TO EACH PERSONAL TASTE. THIS REPORT IS A GUIDE TO THE FASHION EXPLORER IN THE READER, AND TO GUIDE FASHIONISTAS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO WHAT’S NEXT. IT IS ALSO TO SHOW INSIGHT ON HOW ALL FOUR COLOUR STORIES CAN BE WORN FOR A/W 18/19 SEASON AND WHAT WE MIGHT SEE NEXT IN THE FUTURE.
