DIGITAL CONNECTIONS The digital world shows no signs of stopping as people, art, fashion and businesses integrate the newest systems of technology. Not only are the styles of shopping changing but also, the overall way of living is. Excitement is drawn from the lights that decorate our cities, the phones that are one of our closest companions, the advertisements that flash before our eyes, and the internet that informs us of latest news and coolest trends. The colors of the virtual world are endless. When they glitch, bright flashes appear before us. When we go out, the city light's pave the way to a fun night. This color story derives from our bright and innovative world right now. The fluidity, expansion and connection between all of us is exciting and endless. We have the ability to re-create ourselves via online, as well as find new and creative ways to talk with one another.

rooting for you Color Report SS 17/18
Take an adventure through the valleys of the deserts. Sand engulfes you and the desert heat shares a neutral tone across the landscape. This color story harnesses the neutral palette and shows us how dull colors can bring life to your wardrobe in a simplistic and chic look. The minimalistic approach suits the neutral color story by demonstrating that one does not need a lot to portray beauty. With earthy colors, your look can stand out in a nonchalant and admirable way. These colors can also be used in any style or form, may that be boho or even punk. focusing mainly on "camel-mile tea" color with a pop of the "don't desert me!" color, Desert Roots shows that among neutral colors you can have a wide range of options. At it's simplist form, neutral basics are always good to have at hand.

Vintage virtue is for all of you day-dreamers out there. Take a second to think back on your childhood. Do you see it as being more fun? Colorful? Whimsical? Vintage virtue's color story harnesses your dream-like state by looking back on old memories as well as what brought joy to your life - or still does! Light pastel colors guide your dream and should guide your wardrobe as well. These candy-like colors are reported to be popular during SS 18 and, although being very colorful, also contain a simple form. Even if your closet doesnt have a pop of color, the Vintage Virtue showcases colors that aren't too bright, too neutral or too much. These colors aren't restriced to just peppy-go-lucky people, but truly anyone who wants a soft color to add to their closet.

c o ld f e e t Here comes the edge. Cold Feet looks at the darker side of color palletes in a calm and collective nature. By viewing the emotional detachment that many people are able to maintain can be viewed as a dark aspect of a person but on the other hand, is actually a positive and even skillful manner. As color expresses the truth, so does emotional detachment. Through this color story, the dark pallete showcases how darkness can be beautiful, calm and collective. A true classic. Many of us prefer to set boundaries, whether in terms of relationships, social events or self-indulgence, and by using a dark silhoutte, you're able to have an easy go-to option of clothing without the hassle of following trends. As a plus, the pallete of Cold Feet shows you that one can always looks sophisticated and clean in any dark colors.
