HOW SHE WEARS IT: A/W 16/17
TOBE REPORT
2 TOBE HOW SHE WEARS IT
LET TER FROM THE EDITOR If color forms the basis for our culture’s visual experience, who is laying the groundwork? And, how do we take that foundation and build it into something beautiful? Color may inform us about our times, but what is it actually saying? This report seeks to answer that very question. Find inside the interpretation of the colors laid out for the season. I hope it inspires you with the work that others are already doing and generates new ideas as we enter into this new season. Sincerely, Rachel Scaffe Editor-in-Chief

SOFT STRUCTURES
This trend is all about subtlety and finding beauty in the details. Whether that is in rich colors, soft and opulent textures, or streamlined structure, these garments will exude an easy elegance. Look for pieces that are detailed without appearing fussed over, and lend easily to textured mix-and-match layering.

MODERN PLAID
This trend embraces richness in all aspects: rich, bold tones and lavish fabrics create strong and structured looks. Look for interesting takes on colorblocking with unexpected materials and tones, and for a mix of soft and strong fabrics to create an opulent look. Rich colors can also be combined in modern takes on traditional patterns like plaid.
