Color Trends for Autum/Winter 2010-2011

Sustainable Future
The crucial need of co-existing between nature and urban landscapes is reflected in the color palettes and the stories from where they come: urban concrete and formal darks meer nature's mid-tones and bright shades.

Eco-Fashion, lo-fi, laboratory-grown fabrics, food fashion, fusing product and garment, beetroot-dying, victimless leather, bone ivory, up-cycling and all the other experiments concentrating on environment issues, are so important; some ideas will eventually end up as valid solutions to problems we fight with, some are indispensable because of the discussion they rise.

Solutions are imperative to solve the paradox of the fashion industry obsessed by the nonstop change and the vital demand of sustainability. The focus has moved from pure aspect to content, with everything this brings along in terms of questions. Finishing and added functions are areas still to be explored and bringing in new complex and fascinating elements.
