Fashion Fridays • The natural world continues to Fashion Fridays • The natural world continues to inspire across the latest catwalks informing the clothes as well the beauty looks, as seen at @collinastrada’s S/S 23 show, held at the Brooklyn Greenway in New York. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Strada’s nature-inspired ‘farm to table’ approach to fashion extended to the beauty at her latest show. Hairstylist Evanie Frausto was inspired by nature’s remedies, particularly the sulfur-rich mud found in many of southern Europe’s famous volcanic baths, while flushes of colour were applied to lips and cheeks with washes of real beets. Hair of the models - sometimes styled in sets of extra-long plaits - was caked in Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay tinted in shades of lavender and moss green. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ USP Edit subscribers see more colour inspiration on our Colour Feed category on the site.

Keep an eye out as we share sneak peeks from our n Keep an eye out as we share sneak peeks from our new S/S 24 Colour Trends over the coming weeks. First up is our Amulet trend. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Throughout time, humankind has looked to a higher power for guidance, worshipping gods or the Sun in order to receive blessings or answer questions about the meaning of life. Indigenous and ancient cultures used mythology to explain how the world came to be, to reinforce their place within it and their relationship to nature. Modern day talismans are still worn to protect against evil, decorating out bodies and our homes with hand crafted objects that celebrate creativity and connect us to the Earth. Earthy neutrals and gold mix with Mayan Jade and Hot Paprika, alongside unexpected shades of mint and coral. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ See more, including some cultural drivers inspiring this trend, on our stories later today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Alongside the digital colour book a physical colour pack with a full set of fabric swatches is also available to purchase. To find out more and arrange a meeting to view our services, please contact Jodie for any Europe-based enquiries on: jodie@thecolourful.co.uk or +44 (0)7989301319 or head to @thecolourful_trendagency.

Our ‘Primal’ Macro trend explores the collecti Our ‘Primal’ Macro trend explores the collective yearning for regression which sees us question our beliefs as the future seems increasingly bleak, while subversive aesthetics and toxic behaviour generate a fascination with the darker side of life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Designers are unlocking potential in materials that are often overlooked, such as lava and pollution, to raise awareness about environmental issues or to help solve them. Dutch designers Iris de Kievith and Annemarie Piscar have created @smogware_london, a collection of cermaics with a glaze made using collected air pollution particles, to raise awareness about poor air quality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our Macro Update reports look at how our Seasonal Macro Trends have evolved, USP Subscribers see more cultural drivers in our recent A/W 23/24 Macro Trend Update reports. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not a subscriber yet, see our Materials story highlight for more material design inspiration. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🖤 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #MacroTrends #CulturalDrivers #Primal #Trends #ConsumerBehaviour #Pollution #Smogware #Blackened #Homeare #DarkAesthetics #Ceramics #Design #TrendForecasting #USPtrend
Psychedelic colours and prints are elevated using Psychedelic colours and prints are elevated using new colour combinations and diffused, blurred patterns. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ones to watch on the pattern front are Gilles de Brock and Jaap Giesen who have developed their own CNC glaze-printer in order to create an array of customisable tiles in bold colours, which feature a signature psychedelic ombré look. After launching @Studio.gdb earlier this year they’ve already outfitted an Ace & Tate store in their tiles, as well as a Korean fashion boutique and various restaurants and bars. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ USP Edit subscribers see our daily #ColourFeedEdit for more emerging lifestyle colour trends.
