As Fall and Winter come near, civilization transitions their wardrobes to meet the demands for weather but also trend. Trends repeat, some more quickly than others. When Fall 2017 enters as a new season, I forecaste that color will change. Palettes will evoke romanticism through pastels. Brights will evoke character and spontaneity. Neutrals will evoke richness, but never fake tackiness. Additionally, darks will evoke the sparkle of the night. Color is everywhere, and through color, emotion is created and obtained differently by each person. Color is everything. It makes or breaks a collection. The importance of color is crucial to a designer. Each color picked for the collection will tell a story, That story will deliver profit or loss.

A neutral palette for this season resembles gold, but surely not glitter. The contrast between gold and black creates a powerful statement for the designers to represent in their collections. In addition, the different shades of brown create a story of classic simplicity. The white creates separation between the different colors and emphasizes the classic persona.

Dark, a popular color palette for the winter season, creates a story of blues. These different shades of blues capture the richness of the night, a luxurious night. Pairing the same shade of blue, or using different blues to create contrast to the garment, these concepts are key trends in the winter season of 2017-2018. Additionally, this palette characterizes the night of urbanization, the silver color representing the building lights and sparkle in the sky.

Even during the winter months, fashion and color need to evoke loudness through bright color choices. This palette screams the notes of noise, I hear it right now as I look at it. I strongly believe the combination of red and pink, a tint of red, creates a magnificent story. The accents of orange, blue, and white describes a story of chaos that designers are willing to take chances with.
