This season displays a range of bold colors, statements and patterns that react to a landscape of uncertainty, challenges and hopes.

The colors are evocative of a love for nature, need for solace, driving force of technology and a timeless appreciation for community, which are conveyed through bright colors that remind us of things that are really impacting the society.

We’re confronting the ugly truths about gender inequality and abuse but we’re also moving even more rapidly into the future thanks to powerful innovations in biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology.

This Spring, designers and brands pay attention to shifting consumer mindset, geopolitical turmoil, economic uncertainty and a globalisation reboot while stringing together an affection for community and brotherhood where colors and styling are innately easy to wear by both men and women.

The spring color palette reflects a concrete connections between today’s social movements and ’60s counterculture and feminism which is attached, historically, to originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking.

These are the elements we need to create a meaningful future.

Inventiveness and imagination is something we seek in our personal lives and business worlds.

Reminiscent of the magic and imagination, Ultra Violet is a color which is very provocative and above all, magical.

Intriguing, vibrant and somewhat sensual, this enigmatic shade is an extraordinary hue that is unique, bold, creative and exciting.

Implying youth, connectivity and affection, colors such as blooming dahlia, spring crocus, almost mauve and pink lavender bring about the required peace and hope that the society is looking for. These color evoke the sentiments of femininity, softness and sophistication in their appeal.

Interesting on its own and a wonderful contrast to other hues, Spring Crocus is a rich color that incorporates the richness of a tropical breeze while its undertone reminds of hazy nights.

Timeless and unobtrusive, yet powerful enough to make a statement on its own, colors such as cherry tomato, emperador and chilli oil speak about the feeling of colors that remind us of hope and prosperity. Such warm, welcoming and subtly dramatic hues are striking enough to stand on their own or act as a bold contrast.

Arcadia, little boy blue and sailor blue are inspired by the bright seas and trees. Closely related to nature, Arcadia is a tropical shade redolent of nature’s bounty and reminds of soothing palm trees. Sailor blue is a deep cooling blue that adds dimension as a neutral color to this palette.

Just as the sun comes out after stormy weather to bring us cheer and a glimmer of hope, the lime-punch and meadowlark are comforting and warming shade that brings good feelings of fun and joy. Especially, the color lime punch evokes a sentiment of optimism, fun and fantasy.

The importance of neutrals continue to evolve with the warm-sands and cool mists with colors such as greys and sandy brown serving as the ideal neutral across the spring 2018 palette.
