SS-2015-Colour-TrendsSubtle, Soothing, and Airy
The fashion industry is bringing in the new year by encouraging us to unplug from technology more often, and reconnect with our natural environment by wrapping ourselves up in soft, organic hues.

The colours for the first half of 2015 are the toned down and calmer versions of their brighter selves. For example Strawberry Ice (sixth colour from the left above) is the lighter and cooler side of vibrant Strawberry Red. Classic Blue, Toasted Almond, Glacier Gray, and Titanium are the anchors – the basics. Punch up these background neutrals with bold or soft colours to add warmth, energy, and personality.

Colours of Choice
I’ve selected six favourite hues and my favourite neutral for this upcoming season. What are your top picks?

Winter hasn’t officially started yet but we did just get our first dusting of snow this week in downtown Toronto. Even though the holiday season is still ramping up, I’m looking at planning out my spring designs.

The highlight for Spring 2014 looks to be the balancing of colour and emotion. Pairing soft pastels with vivid brights creating an equilibrium between confidence and reflection, femininity and strength, and adventure and stability. These colours are relatively safe with a dash of excitement, perfect for our current economic mood. Hopefully this bubbling experimentation will propel us into a bright and cheery summer.
