COLOR INSPIRATION FALL 2017
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR The Fall 2017 colors are inspired by traveling and going to different electic places across the globe. From the bright powders of the holi festivals in India to the stone paths of Italy to the dusty worn painted homes in Portugal to the dark hues of the ocean, inspiration is everywhere. With the increase of frequent travel in many’s lives today, people are taking cues from different cultures morphing them into one ideal. Tobe has taken note of this nomadic lifestyle and the expansion and popularity of high fashion into different cultures into creating color stories for the Fall 2017 season. These past few seasons, monochromatic modern looks have been scouring the fashion scene. Fall 2017 will revamp this modern look by mixing varying shades and hues of our favorite colors. Bright colors show varieties in warm reds and oranges, Pastels in blues and pinks, Naturals in whites, grays and browns, and Darks in blacks and navy blues.
