The Color Association of the United States' Fashion Projections for Fall-Winter 2007-2008 |
by Margaret Walch and Christine Chow |
A New Fashion Order
The Color Association’s fashion projections for Fall/Winter 2007-08 continue the multi-colored approach of recent years, but takes a starker and moodier stance that mirrors our more complicated and uncertain times. |

WOMEN’S FORECAST
The association’s Women’s forecast for this season incorporates a musical theme that draws on the link between sound and color, signaling the new desire for multisensory experiences.
The two main color groups are called Opus and Interlude, and are full of unusual hues that have a mysterious quality to them, from blue-grays to golden taupes to earthy reds and burgundies. If one color sums up the overall sensibility, it might be the women’s shade called “Bass,” a deep, purply indigo, appropriately complex, dark and thoughtful, with a distinctively adult glamour that shakes off the juvenile whimsy so dominant during the earlier part of this decade.
MEN'S FORECAST
The men’s forecast straddles the niche between the thoughtful sophistication of the women’s projection and the nature-inspired mystique of the interiors/environmental palette. A warm range of brown and buff tones, like Mane and Cavern, are offset by inky blues and purples, slate grays and vegetable greens. A creamy yellow and vivid coral indicates the strength of these shades as contemporary accents. Entitled “A New Order” and incorporating many mythical or magical ideas, this palette addresses the ongoing revolution in American men’s style, and suggests that the modern man may be seeking more primordial roots through color. |
