28 Exclusive Colours for Contemporary Womenswear
The forecast presents 28 carefully selected shades developed exclusively for Color Essence. Precise colour formulations support an efficient process across concept development, sourcing, sampling and production.
Moodboards establish the atmosphere and design context of each direction. Colour-combination proposals show how the palette can form refined neutrals, tonal harmonies, expressive accents and directional contrasts.
The colours are relevant to tailoring, knitwear, dresses, casualwear, outerwear, active-inspired fashion, youth collections, accessories and lifestyle products. Teams can coordinate shades across product groups while adapting each story to their brand identity and market.
Physical Swatches for Accurate Colour Evaluation
Every moodboard includes an original Color Essence swatch. Each shade is also supplied as a large 10 x 10 cm cotton sample, offering a generous surface for evaluating hue, depth and interaction with fabric, texture and light.
The tactile references support studio work, textile selection, supplier communication and colour approval. Designers can compare shades with woven fabrics, knits, coatings, leather, prints, trims and finishes before sampling and manufacturing.
Digital Colour Data for International Workflows
The print edition includes 24/7 access to the Color Essence platform. QTX, LAB and RGB values can be downloaded for every colour and integrated into digital design, presentations and colour-management processes.
Shared digital references improve coordination across design, buying, merchandising, sourcing and production. Physical samples preserve the visual and material accuracy required for professional colour development.
