"Les Colour
The overall range evokes a dynamic dialogue
and synergy between both soft and audacious
color. There are no longer specific ranges of
color but rather a collection of shades that range
from light and neutral to dark and saturated.
For next winter season, it’s all about mixing and
developing interesting contrast. Think differently
and use saturated colors as anchors, spicing
them up with terrestrial darks, toning them down
with muted neutrals and kicking them up with
warm and cool contrasts.
The key is to experiment with color to create
different moods and attitudes for clothing.
Remember, it’s not just about one look and feel
but rather a diverse mix of lifestyles."
