TOBE REPORT: COLOR INSPIRATION FW 17/18
Letter From the Editor Over the last couple of years, men’s fashion has continued to become increasingly popular. Color is a vital element of design, and cannot be overlooked. For the modern man, color is no longer something to be feared, but rather embraced and used as a tool of expression. This report covers the trending colors of Autumn/ Winter 2017/2018 in men’s fashion.
Unbend is a pastel story that is all about relaxation. The calming tones illustrate a carefree fervor. Vim & Vigor is a bright story that radiates happiness and energy. Exploration of neutrals happens in Surface. Despite being neutrals, these colors are very impactful. Rich jewel tones find their luxurious potential in Creature Comfort. Plush interiors inspire this lavish palette.
