WGSN Early Color Trends

WGSN forecasts womenswear early color for Spring/Summer 2009:

Neutral

Neutral tones take on a more warmly shaded, yellow-tinged caste this season.

Orange/Red

A newly emerging level developed from autumn/winter 2008/09. Creamy vanilla- and apricot-influenced pastels through to more exotic coral and tomato reds are imbued with an orange-red glow.

Pink

Pink shades take on a natural, powdery complexion or alternatively are deliciously fresh, sugary and edible, in the form of tangy sorbet and jelly through to candied artificiality.

Brown

Browns take on mellow, sun-ripened amber and golden castes, from tannin-infused biscuit and tea shades through to more rich and aromatic coffee tones.

Blue

A concise level of purple-influenced blues evolve from autumn/winter 2008/09 with a cool ultraviolet intensity.

Blue/Grey

Crisp blue shades are permeated by cool grey for a chilled aqua caste, from the palest misty tones through to the deepest slate, indigo and pitchy darks.

Yellow/Green

Yellow-influenced green shades continue from autumn/winter 2008/09, becoming more fresh and verdant or bright and acidic in tone. Yellow infuses the palette rather than making a standalone colour statement.
