COLOR INSPIRATION FALL 2015-2016


“Fashion is part of the daily air and it changes all the time, with all the events. You can even see the approaching of a revolution in clothes. You can see and feel everything in clothes.� -Diana Vreeland


LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

O

ne of the great things that continue to make life interesting is the changing seasons. The bare branches of winter blooming into radiant spring blossoms, the sticky summer air turning into a crisp autumn breeze, and the crunching of leaves beneath our feet transforming into lush feilds of cystal white snow; these constant changes are the things that keep day to day life from being monotonous and mundane. And just as Diana Vreeland said herself, “fashion is apart of the daily air and it changes all the time.” This means that while the lush green leaves transform into brilliant jewel tones, consumers begin to trade in their bikinis for concealing overcoats. Fashion is anything but mundane and the every changing cycle of fashion with the seasons keeps it coninuously astounding. However, fashion does not soley change due to the weather. Fashion changes along side every driving force including culture and society. As Chanel once said, “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Therefore, with this edition of the Tobe Report, I will not only be bringing you the upcoming fashion trends of Fall 14/16, but I will also be bringing to you a sense of a revolution in culture that will be taking place. Because fashion is not simply clothes, it is both a reflection and an influence on the world around us. -Morgan Davis
