HOW SHE WEARS IT
LE T T ER FR OM THE ed itor
IT
is true to say that color affects people in more ways than one. The use of color has the power to manifest our emotions, change our moods, and provoke past memories. Color provides a pathway to freedom through the arts, fashion, design, and unbound creativity. So, welcome to the Autumn/Winter 2017/2018 Tobe Color Report. Caught between fiction and hyper-reality, the four trends you will soon explore range from a natural sense of nature to a fully modernized digital atmosphere. I am grateful to be given the opportunity to provide you with color trends I feel will impact us all in the future. We have curated special material to provide you with the best visual representations that I am sure will both inspire and excite you. Beginning with BARE which seeks to represent a fast emerging wave of modern and eco-friendly designers and consumers through subtle neutrals. NEW WORLD is next - an array of rich, intense tones inspired by the impact of technology and shift to a completely digital era. RETICENT, the pastel group, follows behind and SHORT OPPOSITES completes the report with muted and unusal hues reflective of unconventional pairings. So thank you for choosing to dive into our carefully crafted world of color. We hope you enjoy.
