GESTALT T O B E R E P O R T. C O M
7
GESTALT IS THE THEORY OF HOW THE EYE PRECIEVES BY VIEWING THE OUTSIDE WORLD IN GROUPS OF COMMONILITY. WITH INFLUENCES FROM THE BAUHAUS, THIS COLOR STORY GOES BACK TO BASICS WITH PRIMARY COLORS PLUS BLACK AND WHITE. A HEAVY EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON GRID FORMATION TO FURTHER SIMPLFY IDEAS, CONCEPTS AND COLORS.

GLUM T O B E R E P O R T. C O M
13
GLUM IS THE STORY OF SUBDUED CONFIDENCE. POWERFUL COLORS JUXTAPOSED AGAINST A MOODY UNDERTONE. GLUM IS HIDES IN THE SHADOWS WITH MUTED GRAYS UNTIL IT’S READY WHEN IT ATTACKS FORWARD WITH LOUD MAGENTAS AND TEALS. THE STORY PROMOTES A KNOWN INTERNAL STRENGTH THAT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE IN YOUR FACE TO UNDERSTAND.

EFFEMINACY

EFFEMINACY DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM BOTH MASCULINE AND FEMININE ENERGY. DURING A TYPICALLY COLD SEASON, MUTED PINKS AND REDS PROVIDE A WARMING TOUCH TO THE SEASON. THIS STORY IS ABOUT GOING AGAINST GRAIN, AWAY FROM TRADITION, INTO A NEW, SOFT, REALITY.

PAINTERLY T O B E R E P O R T. C O M
25
PAINTERLY IS THE RETURN TO AN ARTFUL QUALITY. UNINHIBITED COLORS BRING VITALITY TO THE SEASON. BRIGHT GREENS AND BLUES MIX AGAINST POPS OF YELLOW AND SOFT ORANGE. PAINTERLY IS ABOUT BRINGING ART ONTO THE CANVAS OF FASHION. WITH AN INCREASE OF DIGITAL PRINTING ON FABRIC, A PAINTERLY EFFECT CAN BE APPLIED EVER SO EASILY.
