Illuminate
A family of soft neutrals
and blush tones inspired by
powders and clays sits alongside a
mainstay of beiges that replace the family
of whites. Whites still stand out, but will be used
in juxtaposition or blends with the beige palette. From
luxurious fine, but not transparent cashmere and noble
fibres to crisp linen and ramie, the yarns have an appearance
of simplicity and sophistication. Refinement is achieved via the
construction and finish of the end-product, which is a return to regal
elegance and style dominated with a strong modern influence.
Amber
Evocative of the earth and
its vegetation, this colour story
comprises of earthy tones that mirror
what the earth produces. Spanning across
spices, nuts, vegetables, foliage, moss and eco-
roots, earthy tones induce a balance of contrast from
lamè tie-and-dye or mélange blends to comforting and
assured, warm, well tested fibres. Evolving greens, khaki function
as catalyst shade mixed with other colours. Metallic gold is used to
embellish and enhance the direction.
