letter from the editor
Clothes always say something about us. Whether we consciously choose to dress up for a date or unconsciously throw on an old tshirt because its laundry day, everything we put on our body speaks about ourselves. In this report we curated both street wear and runway looks that are most important to us for Spring Summer 2018. These four stories write the first chapter of a book on how to incorporate these colors into your wardrobe. Its up to you to truly own these colors and wear them with your own meaning.
P arade is a soft palette color story coaxing us into a casual stroll around the neighborhood, inspiring us to be tourists in our own city. Solstice is an eccentrically vibrant narrative that looks to the hope of our future selves. Colors that make us feel like we can be anyone or do anything. The loud hues speak with a strong voice telling us to let go of our tight grasp on control. Oxidation is a color story inspired by remaining rooted in the earth even when surrounded by change. Unsatu Unsaturated tans and browns sink our feet a little further into the ground beneath and tell us to breath. Lucidity is the final color story and it derives from our desire to stay alert. Deep, dark, burning hues build a fire in our hearts that illuminates the beauty around us. So take a moment and get lost with us in how to w ear these colors in Spring Summer 2018. Enjoy!

solstice
Solstice is an eccentrically vibrant narrative that looks to the hope of our future selves. Do we want hot pink ooring? We’re not so sure but we want to have the option, to feel free enough to be ok with overpowering color. We want to dream of being anyone living anywhere running free doing what we are most passionate about. Solstice is an exotic changing of the seasons.

oxidation
Oxidation is a color story inspired by remaining rooted in the earth even when surrounded by technology, industrialization, and the corrosion of nature. Not letting the future freak you out. Learning to combine the future with oxygen. The calming earth tones remind us to keep on living in accordance with the piece of the galaxy we have been given.

lucidity
Lucidity derives from our desire to stay alert, not blind to hate or unacceptance, but consciously looking out for those who may not have a voice to speak up for themselves. The warm rich tones burn on our face as we feel the progress we have made and the push to keep going. Dark hues call for a rebellion from normal.
