Stahl publishes spring-summer 2011 colour forecast
Stahl’s new design studio consultants, Bianco and White, have presented the company with a new-look fashion colour forecast book. The number of colour groups has been reduced to four and illustrations have been adapted for greater simplicity.
The four colour groups selected for spring-summer 2011 are: Tramp, Smooth, Tonic and Spotless, each containing eight basic colours.
Tramp is based on a mood of authentic quality and rediscovering the rhythms of rural culture. It is inspired by a mix of “beach mood” and “night glam”, while integrating an element of the “gypsy” into the city and rural styles. Colours are strong and natural with pastel shades and summery shades of blue, orange, purple and green.
Smooth, is less dramatic, keeping a mood of simplicity and health. It aims to inspire respect for the universe and a vegetable world. Colours are organic with earthy gradations that eventually reach over the horizon to the deep blue abyss beyond.
By contrast, Tonic is full of energy and vitality with vivacious clashes of brilliant bright colour. The result is a dramatic contrast of colours: white and brown, yellow and red, green and purple, blue and orange.
The Spotless colour group is calmer without any decorative excesses. It aims to be elegant, candid and pure. There are no brilliant colours; the theme includes soft tonal shades, gentle neutrals that offer a sense of peace.
