Once again the Woolmark trends are the first global fibre colour trend service to be released and Woolmark preview colours for the Spring/Summer 2009 season are available now for early colour decisions for the new season.
Palettes are uneven but always tasteful. Limited use of yellow-orange tones creates a cool and sophisticated combination that isn't too summery. An innovative and clever use of brights stands out against a majority of neutrals. Sensuous metallised colours make their appearance for the first time.
Visions of nature: Ornamental signs capture the essence of character, lightweight yet meaningful and highly valuable. Simplistic qualities, classic and tranquil design aspects does not mean dull or predictable. Rarefied effects, decorative and structural rhythms, slightly stirred surfaces. A majority of neutrals inspired by the world of fine arts, punctuated by few unusually bold tints.
Delicate vagaries: A sweet and sour romantic spirit, gentle and poetically stylized, always intense and never melancholic. The colours, look and feel of porcelain, a taste for pureness and decoration that is both Japanese and Nordic. A very personal chaotic order: irregular colourations, fine and close weaves or laces. Innovative yet balanced matches between eccentric pastels and dark neutrals.
Techno rainbows: Energy, speed and a 'feel good' attitude for an absolutely contemporary reconciliation of opposites, carefully studied and perfectly functional. Micro and macro, precise and blurred, monochrome and multicolour in dynamic and fun effects and on highly processed surfaces. Dense bright artificial tones, often eased by neon white and orangey neutrals.
Metallic alchemies: Life is a complex and logic defying system, including hybrids of all kinds. Iridescences, a touch of androgyny, mesmerizing winding motifs of scientific or historical derivation, hyper modern tailored constructions and weightlessness in every sense. Significant yet sophisticated contrasts for rich golden greens, tender flesh tones, glittering platinum and antique gold.
