LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: Dear Reader,

Season after season, Forecasters are given the job to reveal new color stories for the upcoming season. A/W ‘17/’18 is going to be an amazing season with fresh takes on colors. For our new season we have forecasted four unique and exciting color stories. These color stories for Autumn/ Winter 17/18 will illustrate what the trends for women’s clothing and accessories will look like. Our four carefully curated trends include a new look on neutrals in our Romantic Traveler story, a play on subdued bright colors inspired by Mexico, pastels influenced by painters, and dreamy dark tones defined by hypnagogia. We have broken down our forecasted colors into our suggested. primaries, secondaries, and accents.

Hope you enjoy these color stories.

MEXICO

BRIGHTS

Mexico has always been a source for color inspiration, but this time we take a more subdued look at Mexico’s vibrant brights. Mellow Pinks and Tranquil Turquoises have us thinking of the laid-back beach towns that we all yearn to discover. Accents of Pink and Blue still add a little salsa to our softened colors.

PAINTER’S PASTELS

For our pastel color report, we took inspiration from the ways painters overlap their strokes into soft, dreamy colors. With different hues of lilac, mauve, pink, peach and green, these colors are easy to blend themselves.

HYPNAGOGIA

Hypnagogia is the transition from a wakeful state of mind to a peaceful, tranquil sleep state. As we transition from vibrant summer colors, we look towards soft, smooth and calm colors. Tame teals in different hues, gives us an comforting color palette with an unexpected, but soothing chalky pink.
