TFL releases colour trends for autumn-winter 2013–14
17/04/2012
As usual, it has divided the colour trends into Wearing and Living categories, devoting a section to each within the publication. Wearing comprises inspirations and colour trends for garments, footwear and accessories. The Living section features colours that will decorate the season’s interior design.
In Living the current trend is all about comfort and a new concept of softness, TFL says. For example, vegetable tanned calf leather with a hand-carved semi-gloss wood finish will be popular. Fragmented effects are also created on full grain nappa through printed needlepoint that protects surfaces from constant rubbing and at the same time is in keeping with the nature of the products. The colours range from pastel greens to yellow, brown and red tones.
In Wearing tone-on-tone brush-off smoothness, opaque metals or natural waxes are what are most fashionable for the season, according to the Swiss company, using vegetable tanned nubuck calf leather with “an impressive thickness”, aniline finishing and protection from stains and water. Brown and red tones dominate.
In addition, TFL is featuring its SELLA DERM M2 range of liquid salt-free metal complex dyes in the catalogue. These dyes are miscible in water and organic solvents. They are recommended for shade intensifying, correcting and levelling of dyed leather.
