“MERE COLOR, UNSPOILED BY MEANING AND UNALLIED WITH DEFINITE FORM, CAN SPEAK TO THE SOUL IN A THOUSAND DIFFERENT WAYS” OSCAR WILDE
S INC E R E LY, COLORS ARE THE WORDS ON A BLANK PAGE. EVERY HUE CONCEALS A STORY LIKE PURE POETRY. A COLOR HAS THE POWER TO EVOKE HUMAN EMOTION, TRIGGER MEMORY, AND GIVE MEANING TO THE MOST BASIC OF THINGS TRANSCENDING BEYOND A MERE VISUAL SPECTRUM OF LIGHT: IT IS HUMANS GREATEST INTRUMENT FOR EXPRESSION. A BEAUTIFUL STORY IS TOLD WHEN COLOR AND FASHION MEET WITH EVERY SEASON A NEW NARRATIVE IS WRITTEN, NOT ONLY TO PROVOKE A MOOD, BUT TO DOCUMENT THE ESSENCE OF THE SURROUNDING WORLD. IN THIS REPORT I TELL MY TALE OF THE SEASON THROUGH FOUR COLORFUL COLOR STORIES GRANDEUR, HYPERCONNECTION, DECAY, AND IMPLOSION. FIND THESE STORIES IN YOUR LIBRARY OF IMAGINATION AND CREATE WITH IT A NEW NARRATIVE. B RY NN M CKI N STRY E D ITO R IN CH IE F

“WE EXPERIENCE FAR MORE THROUGH SENSES THAN OUR CONSCIOUS MINDS CAN COMPREHEND, SO FOCUSING ON ENGAGING MULTIPLE SENSES IS ULTIMATELY ABOUT CREATING A MORE GENUINE AND ROUNDED EXPERIENCE, SOMETHING REAL AND TANGIBLE – NOT SIMPLY CONCEPTUAL”. NIGEL HOLLIS
HYPERCONNECTION TELLS A STORY NO LONGER CONFINED BY TIME AND SPACE. INSTEAD, IT BECOMES FRAGMENTED AND ALLENCOMPASSING TRANSFORMING THE EVERYDAY AND MUNDANE. THE BLURRED LINE BETWEEN REALITY AND THE VIRTUAL WORLD EXPRESSED IN THE CONTRAST OF COLORS AND SHAPES. FRAGMENTS IN THE MIDNIGHT AND CELESTIAL HUES CREATS ANOTHER DIMENSION. CYBER YELLOW PIXELATES THE DEEP ASTRAL SKY, WHILE FLASHES OF RED GENERATE ENERGY. TOBEREPORT.COM

“GOOD MEN, THE LAST WAVE BY, CRYING HOW BRIGHT THEIR FRAIL DEEDS MIGHT HAVE DANCED IN A GREEN BAY, RAGE, RAGE AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT.
DECAY IS DEFINED BY THE DETERIORATION OF MATTER. THE NATURALLY OCCURRING PHENOMENONS, SUCH AS RUST FORMATION AND FIRE, CREATE A SENSE OF DECLINE IN THE NATURAL STATE OF BEING.
WILD MEN WHO CAUGHT AND SANG THE SUN IN FLIGHT, AND LEARN, TOO LATE, THEY GRIEVED IT ON ITS WAY, DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT.”
A VOLCANIC AMBIANCE OF CLOUDY CHARCOAL GRAYS MASK THE DISOLATE SKY WITH SOMBER SHADOWY ASPECTS. HIGHLIGHTED BY MISTS OF LAVENDER FOG AND BURNT ORANGE, A FERVENT INTENSITY IS BROUGHT TO THE ABSTRACT.

IMPLOSION REVERTS BACK TO THE LAND IN NATURAL TONES. WHEN THE WORLD STARTS SPINNING FASTER AND THE TECHNOLOGY IS CONSUMING OUR WORLD, THERE IS SOME PEOPLE THAT NEED TO ESCAPE, GO BACK TO THE BASICS AND TO MAKE CONTACT WITH OUR NATURAL WORLD. A JOURNEY THROUGH SLATE BLUE AND SPANISH MOSS, WE CONTRAST OUR OVERSTIMULATED WORLD WITH MUTED TONES. PREMIUM ELEMENTS SUCH AS PEARLS AND METALLIC FINISHES ADD AN ICY TOUCH. TOBEREPORT.COM
