FALL 2016: A Unity of Strength, Confidence, and Complexity

‍

According to Pantone Color Institute, this fall can be described with the following words – tranquility, strength, and optimism. Though the main palette for autumn is set in earth tones, there are several vibrant pop-ups that appear throughout the collections.

In this post, I’ve made two selections – one from the catwalks, so that you can see how these trendy colours look at fashion shows; the other one, using garments from the shop. I know that it’s not easy for many of you to find the exact colour on the right item. Moreover, some people can’t imagine what the Potter’s-Clay-coloured coat may even look like. Below you will find an illustrative pick to better understand the colour trend!

ГОЛУБОЕ НЕБО ПРЕДСТАВЛЯЕТ СОБОЙ ПОСТОЯНСТВО, КОТОРОЕ ВСЕГДА НАД НАМИ. СЕРЫЙ ДАЕТ ОЩУЩЕНИЕ СТАБИЛЬНОСТИ, А КРАСНЫЕ ТОНА ПРИДАЮТ УВЕРЕННОСТИ И ОЩУЩЕНИЕ ТЕПЛА, В ТО ВРЕМЯ КАК ЛИЛОВО-РОЗОВЫЙ И ПРЯНЫЙ ГОРЧИЧНЫЙ ДОБАВЛЯЮТ ЭКЗОТИЧНОСТИ.

‍

В соответствии с прогнозами Pantone Color Institute, эту осень можно описать следующими словами – спокойствие, сила и оптимизм. Несмотря на то, что основная палитра осенних цветов как правило близка к землистым и натуральным тонам, есть в этом сезоне и необычные вспышки цвета.

В этом посте я подготовила две поборки: одна на основе образов с подиумов, чтобы видеть, как обыгрывали цвет дизайнеры и стилисты во время показов; а вторая подборка состоит из предметов гардероба из магазинов. Эту иллюстративную селекцию я сделала специально для тех, кто с трудом представляет, как, например, оттенок «Кожа акулы» или «Пыльный кедр» могут смотреться на пальто или обуви.
