TFL announces colour trends for spring-summer 2012
08/11/2010
The company has divided the colour trends into two main themes, Wearing and Living, devoting a section to each within the catalogue. Wearing comprises inspirations and colour trends for garments, footwear and accessories. The Living section features all colours that will decorate the season’s interior design.
In Living the clean and airy hues of nubuck wet-white are the concept of coordinated furnishings, which illuminate large sofas “with delight”, TFL said on announcing the new publication. The nubuck appearance prevails on all surfaces and—combined with soft suede—powerfully enters inside any living space. The colours range from pastel green and beige to amber tones.
In Wearing ultra thin nappa leather “seduces the clothing industry” with super fine grain micro-flotter deerskin, birdseye patterns, subtle sun effects, and “sweet folds of wispy nubuck attained through mild washing”. The angelic idea will be kept alive through animal prints such as ostrich, teiidae and anaconda, only to then steer towards reptile grains hand crafted by a tanner. The colours include pastel pink and red as well as earth-coloured and moss-green tones.
