Press Release
Fashion & Colour Inspirations
Autumn/Winter 2009/2010
TFL has released its new ‘Colour Trends & Fashion Inspirations’ catalogue for the
autumn / winter 2009/10 season. The catalogue was realised in association with the
two well-known designers Carmen Rimoldi and Sergio Belloni. The main advantage
of this trend book for TFL’s customers is that it is published 21 months in advance of
the retail season.
The issue Autumn/Winter 2009/10 implies the idea that trends are only real trends
when they become a style. Music represents the harmony of contrasts and in that
way also stands for creating new fashion styles by mixing colours and contrasts.
Especially with such a personal touch a new style can be created.
The colour preferences, general fashion considerations and styling directions in
TFL’s ‘Colour Trends & Fashion Inspirations’ are divided up into three categories:
Chic, Classic and Casual:
Chic shades are inspired by digital prints and holograms. This trend is dominated by
solid and cold tones. Midnight blues and earth tones as well as deep pink are
opposing and in that way creating a world of playful patterns. The interaction of
functional blues and structured browns open out onto turbulent explorations that
burst forth in stormy alchemies.
The Classic world is characterised by diluted colour effects. Clean and earthy
colours play a big role in this section. In curious combinations they seem to be like an
experiment. Brown and green tones mixed together create a hint of mystery in
combination with grey and foggy shades.
Casual colours reflect the style of mixed technologies. Juicy orange tones, drunken
scarlets and neutral nuances combine in a dangerous relation. The way how a
dynamic brilliance and shining is created seems like a magic formula. Pavement
greys brought together with dazzling lights are a contrast to passionate and theatrical
tones.
The TFL ‘Colour Trends & Fashion Inspirations’ catalogue for leather is published
twice a year. The exclusive editions are available in February and September. Please
