FW 17/18 COLOUR INSPIRATION
“Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life.�
bill cunningham
note from the editor Dear readers, “Life is nothing more than but a collection of memories, some we remember, while others we have long forgotten.” These colour are inspired by some of the most beautiful travel destinations. Traveling affects people differently. It might make some of you to let loose a little or a lot (a good thing in most cases). While for others they might learn a lot more about themselves that they didn’t know before. In most cases however, it teaches people to be creative - to be creative with how they use their precious holiday time and to be creative with what outfits they can wear as they can finally let go of their boring everyday clothing. These colours will set the tone for the Fall Winter 2017-2018. I sincerely hope you all will create some exciting memories yourself while wearing some of these colours. Best, Nicole Ng
