COLOR AND INSPIRATION SPRING/SUMMER 2017
From the Editor’s Desk Color & Inspiration Spring/Summer 2017
Each year we take the time out to travel the world to find the colors that speak to the global population. Through these trips we experience it all from the local cuisine to site seeing on all the historical land marks. For this season we are taken to a whole new world filled with a mixture of colors. Through this color and inspiration report I take you into the Purest, Desolation, Retrograde, and Royals worlds. Within the Purest you are taken through a neutral color palette of shades black and white to give a modern feel to the season. Desolation brings in the calm pastel colors that allows the individual to relax from the trying winter months. As for Retrograde and Royals you are taken from the bright world of neon lights of the retro to the bold powerful colors of jewel tones of royals. This overall color palette has been put together to allow you to create and inform those around you the story you are trying to convey. With this report I give you the information you need to create your own view of the upcoming season. Embrace,

The Purest color palette draws its inspiration from modern architecture and minimalistic 3D scultpures. The mixture of shapes in modern architecture to create clean cut pieces gives a new meaning to the world of black and white. With the use of lightweight structured fabric the Purest is able to sport its favorite colors all year round.
