EACH SEASON, WE AS FORECASTERS HAVE AN INSTINCTUAL
SNAPSHOT OF THE TOP FOUR KEY TRENDS FOR THE SEASON.
THESE TRENDS ARE THEMES THAT INFLUENCE AND DEFINE
THE THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS THAT WILL SHAPE WOMENSWEAR
EACH SEASON. EACH THEME IS IMPACTED BY THE OTHER, YET
COMPLETELY UNIQUE IN ITS OWN RIGHT.
IN THIS REPORT, WE WILL DISCUSS THE FOUR OVERARCHING
COLOR TRENDS FOR FALL/WINTER 2015-2016. THE FIRST
MAJOR TREND , GLOBAL FUSION , IS ALL ABOUT THE ENERGY
AND VIBRANCY BROUGHT ON BY A GLOBALIZED CULTURE,
THE SECOND, FROZEN FAIRYTALE, EXPLORES THE INTRICATE
FANTASIES OF A WINTER WONDERLAND. DISHARMONY ,THE
THIRD TREND, IS ABOUT JUXTAPOSITION AND DISTORTED
VOLUME; AND THE FOURTH TREND, SARTORIAL STYLE , GOES
INTO DEPTH ABOUT VINTAGE TAILORING, BUT WITH A MODERN
TWIST.
THE OVERALL COLOR BREAKDOWN HELPS YOU, THE READER,
EXPLORE THE VARIOUS COLOR COMBINATIONS, AND
JUXTAPOSITIONS, THAT ARE FITTING FOR FALL.
