Color forecast of spring and summer 2012

Fashion world has barely announced their next collections, and we already have year 2012 on our eye.
I love these colors for Spring and summer 2012.
With these it is easy to plan a head what to buy this year now to keep the trend going next year.
I loved these colors, and my favorite ones are Darkland Blur and Silent.


This is what Color Guru´s from famous LENZING told us.

Trends for Spring/Summer 2012

BE REAL

Be honest
What you make, how you make it, how you use it…………… how you get rid of it – consumers demand transparency in all steps from the conception of a product to the disposal – or even better – how it’s reborn to a new form or product. Don’t try with ‘green-laundering’ any more.
Be happy
Think ‘out of the box’ whenever creating and re-using, re-use puts a smile on your face; it’s lovely that so much creativity is going on out there.
Be sensitive Designing moves from intelligent to sensitive.‘Compassion by design’ is the catchphrase when approaching consumers. Brainpower is at the core.
Be proud In the schools of the most progressive 3rd world help organizations, uniforms are reminiscing local traditions, not Western European dress code. Thus they avoid cultural imperialism, and the local kids are endowed with self-esteem. More than ever education is in focus.
Be human Once again, design is conceived as a social matter, a skill rooted in humanism.


Darkland

find your drama in nature, rich lush and dark yet bright.
Layers, veils, mystique – complex printing techniques are in play.
Super-thin silks, exceptionally fine micron wools, exquisite cottons and linen – the drape of the fabric is central. Crepe spun yarns add freshness to the mood. 



 

Boring

Almost everyday sensations of the ordinary humble and honest real time real life. New basic fabrics of extraordinary beauty. Inventive cotton blends to obtain even better easy-care and comfort qualities. Redesigning everyday fabrics and jerseys. Detailed knitting structures. Multi-purpose-qualities.


Blur

Naturally bright pigments develop into new classics. Fabrics are classic, materials the same but all elements are somewhat twisted: fibers in unusual yarn-spinning and –counts, classical weave patterns in atypical materials clashed with a curious checkered design, an embroidery where you didn’t expect it - nothing loud, just enough to make you startle.


Silent

Restraint and refinement create an atmosphere of calm clarity. Gentle quiet non-color mood creates a sensibility for comfort luxuries. Fabrics as light as air – less material is environmentally benign – is providing the ultimate feeling of comfort. Innovative regenerated fibers and synthetic fibers are securing ultimate wellbeing. Fabrics being a part of you, i.e. skin grown


Industrial Poetry

Digital printing is saving resources and materials. Patterns are graphic. Performance materials: Stretch obtained without latex for breathability. Cloth absorbing and storing humidity and moisture. More performances included in fibers, instead of added in all the processes until the finishing – and more extremely technological solutions. Biomimicry is an important inspiration for developing textiles.
Reuse – Upcycle – Lifecycle












These kind of combinations you will find in fashion on a spring and summer 2012
