T E R R A C O T TA Te r r a c o t t a f o c u s e s o n t h e i n t i m a t e connection between humans and nature. It does so by bringing them back to their roots through earth-like tones. There are underlaying hues of green and blue that also add to the richness of the palette. By focusing on tailoring and revamping classic pieces such as the trench coat, this palette offers a more serious assortment without losing its innovation within design.

ROSA Rosa explores the juxtaposition of colors and style. By mixing “cute” and light hearted colors with street wear and a utilitarian aesthetic, we are being introduced to a new stage in menswear were no longer color is a limiting factor in their clothing choices. In terms of design, oversized is better and the mixing and matching of all these colors on to one outfit is encouraged.

PROTRACTED This bright color palette centralizes in the exploration of new materials and fabrics. By being innovative with patterns and texture, designers are incorporating pops of colors to play with different visual representations. It represents a mixture of different styles that become open to interpretation and leave room for whomever is wearing it to express t h e m s e l v e s f r e e l y. It is mainly used for accent colors at a smaller scale but it is quickly taking over and developing into whole products.
