S/S 25 COLOUR - RECLAIMED ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ S/S 25 COLOUR - RECLAIMED ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rather than being fearful of a post-apocalyptic future, we embrace a world where nature has reclaimed the earth and is thriving once more. Disregarded remnants of industry crumble and are over grown with plants, as human surrender as top of the natural hierarchy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The juxtaposition of nature vs man made inspires an elemental colour palette, taken directly from the ground beneath our feet, whilst other tones nod to oxidized metal and faded human presence. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep an eye each week as we explore our six *NEW* #SS25 Colour trends. For further details about our S/S 25 Colour reports, please contact our Trend Agent, @thecolourful_trendagency / jodie@thecolourful.co.uk for UK enquiries, or for US enquiries please contact @esp_trendlab / info@esptrendlab.com ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #USPtrend #Trends #Trendforecasting #Mood #Inspo #Inspiration #Colour #ColourPalette #ColourHarmony #ColourInspiration #SS25 #ForwardThinking #Mindful #Fashion #Lifestyle #Design #Culture #USPcolour
