Color Portfolio Autumn/Winter 2013/14

Fall/Winter 2013/14 Color Theme: Harvest Past and Reworked Classics

According to Carol Meek, Publisher of Color Portfolio, the key phrase of the season is “Harvested Past and Reworked Classics.” Color for Fall/Winter 2013-14 is being influenced by the Countryside, Vintage and Traditional themes.

The new fall/winter season continues to be influenced by nature, so color is natural without artificial casts. Color also has vintage tones that while slightly worn or washed, still hold a lot of saturation. Traditional shades are still continuing this season; while the trends are still Classic they are being re-worked into exciting new color stories.

Just like the trends, color is re-interpreted to look new and inspiring with interesting and creative color combinations. The natural brown story continues from Spring/Summer 2013 into Autumn/Winter 2013-14. Grey tones add a touch of rugged elegance and are similar to mechanical greys. The Browns are very strong and work well when mixing them with spicy tones and deep wine/berry shades. Blue/Greens look appealing this year as well, especially when shown in combination with traditional greens.

Collezioni Donna Pret-a-Porter Paris 153 is about to be published!

Collezioni Donna presents an original editorial formula for an exciting fashion season: Autumn/Winter 2012/13.

As in the previous issue three sections are dedicated to transmitting the spirit of the times and describing what fashion designers feel is hanging in the air.

Kicking off with trends which, laying aside the various themes unfailingly interpreted in a new way from one season to the next, are packed with emotion.

Collezioni Donna no longer constructs its trends according to the fashion week logic, like Paris and London, but analyses both capitals, studying the proposals presented during the fashion week to confirm just how far they have travelled.

Continuing with the "SPOTLIGHT ON" section entirely dedicated to specific collections for easy reading of individual shows, in depth examinations, a pause to reflect on that seen on the catwalks. The LOOKBOOK sections have developed into a unique container, to complete and complement the shows, by offering information on several intriguing brands and open to anyone looking to promote his/her production. Last but not least, a special report on Furs and Northern Europe fashion.

Collezioni Sport&Street 64 has just been published!

Check out our new issue: Collezioni Sport&Street 64  has just been published!
(DARE TO) BE A STAR?  A full colour winter packed with sensuality in unadulterated Fifties style for the "street fashion" crowd: dainty body hugging dresses, far-fetched Latex detailing, plunging Dita Von Teese necklines, a "politically incorrect" femininity set to test even the most self-centred masculine public. But rather than hanging around, gentlemen, or better, "adultescents" of all ages hit back to the tune of a "brutal" post punk style.

But… what about everyone else? Lovers of simple casualwear, made to the highest standards, will find plenty of ideas, as well as tech-stylistic products designed to transform even the most comfortable getup into a "cool" outfit. ‘Crossover’ is the new keyword, a leitmotiv for uniting military with workwear, sartorial with sportswear.

Having a Shot at Celebrity

Viewpoint #29 The Celebrity issue: “Celebrity-depending on your viewpoint-enhances or diminishes contemporary culture. It shows little sign of fading-but it is evolving in scale, purpose and nature. What is fame today? And how might it change?”

“ The first principle of contemporary celebrity is revelation and for the consumer to discover the supposed private self behind the public self. Modern television and the internet mean that anyone today can have a shot at celebrity.”

There are celebrities that we admire for their talents, and those that are famous for just being famous alone. At one time celebrities were looked up to model our own lives, a paradigm that is no longer valid. The internet and social media has enabled the individual to be a celebrity of sorts in their own network of contacts giving us a platform to be heard as never before, promoting a sort of celebrity self.

Viewpoint #29 explores the various types of fame and what each means: “The Social Celebrity, The Serious Celebrity, The Self-made Celebrity, The Local Celebrity, The Branded Celebrity, The Virtual Celebrity, Celebrity Brands & Products.” A most enlightening read.

Look for the latest Viewpoint and many other fine publications at the next INDIGO and PRINTSOURCE fairs or at 247 West 38th Street/ 12th floor, New York NY 10018
