TOBE COLOR AND INSPIRATION FALL//WINTER 2016
FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Color, one of the most important things in the world. Some take it for granted while some wish they could see it. In life you learn to count your blessings, you learn that everyday, every breath is a blessing because somewhere, someone is wishing, hoping, yearning for that moment you take for granted. Color is one of those things humans are fortunate enough to experience, the color of the sun setting, the color of bright pink peonies, or the perfectly blue sky in the morning with the sun shining its brightest. Its one of those things that comes in all shapes, many sizes, and different forms in this report we will discuss the four major color trends of fall/winter 2016-2017. The first major trend, new lengths, the exploration of hybrid designs takes on the energy and vibrancy of the awkward gentleman. Ornate, the second trend, explores that intricate constructions and patterns of the new DIY. The third, weightless, is all about the combining of translucent finishes, street wear, and high performance for the modern man, and finally the last trend, largerthan-life, explores the pumping up of silhouettes, exaggerating, and inflating the puffed proportions to new heights. Color has the power to bring meaning to life, the power to spark memories, the influence to start new ones, and the control to evoke thoughts. Color is the ultimate trigger for imagination.

New Lengths
Lets take it back to the 60s and 70s; silhouettes are in awkward proportions and new lengths are appearing. Jackets become shrunken and waistlines become the key focus as high wasted pants are becoming androgynous. It’s the new hybrid design; odd proportions are the new black.

Weightless
Lightweight garments come to life as near weightless materials are combined with technology, creating garments that take on the role of high performance. By combining translucent finishes with mid-weight layers this trend is perfect for the modern, active, street wear loving man.
