The overall mood is about taking control, taking it all in our stride but at the same time moving forwards in terms of developments in the entire textile chain as we enter a new decade.

In defining the color palettes, consideration has been taken in amassing the changes in technology combined with the key ingredients on offer in creating another successful season.

Core Palette

The core color palette, embraces key tones that feature seasonally, emerges a little tougher in tone as sharper greens and denser red tones come into play, with the introduction of indigo blue added to enhance the active living trend.

The concept of the seasonal color palette each season, isn’t too dictate the colors, but share information on new color tones that textile manufacturers and brands can incorporate into their established palettes through accents or full color use.

The four satellite palettes embrace very different directions from next generation  and natural inspiration to full on high gloss synthetic brights that feature in new energetic levels.

The inclusion of yarns through to membranes and coatings have been taken into account in achieving certain colors that require an enhanced brilliance from the fabrics and trims.
