Autumn / Fall 2010 color trends

Written by Daniel P Dykes

We're not yet a quarter of the way into 2010 but, in the industry that is fashion, our eye is always firmly on the future. And in this case that means looking past even the forthcoming Spring 2010 season and looking to Autumn / Fall 2010 color trends. As they have done in the past, both Pantone and Lenzing have released their takes on the forthcoming color trends for Fall 2010. They see the Autumn / Fall 2010 season as a mix of colours for women that fuse practicality with a sense of travel and adventure.

Lenzing Autumn / Fall 2010 color trends

Like so many other fashion trend reports of late, Lenzig's hones in on the micro-trend of eco fashion and brings it to the fore:

Sustainable Future
The crucial need of co-existing between nature and urban landscapes is reflected in the color pallets and the stories from where they come: urban concrete and formal darks meet nature's mid-tones and bright shades.

Eco-fashion, lo-fi, laboratory-grown fabrics, food fashion, fusing product and garment, beetroot-dying, victimless leather, bone ivory, up-cycling and all the other experiments concentrating on environment issues, are so important; some ideas will eventually end up as valid solutions to problems we fight with, some are indispensable because of the discussion they rise.

While we can't fault the good-natured meaning, we can't say we wholeheartedly agree that such issues will rise to the fore and play a major role in Fall / Winter 2010's colors. Lenzig have, however, identified these key palettes:

  1. Puritan
  2. Reflection
  3. Rugged
  4. Exotic
  5. Identikit

Puritan

fall 2010 colors trends

Think weightless, coated fabrics with subdued colours. This is a look all about luxury of the future: where luxury again means quality.

The colours for this trend from Lenzing are:

Reflection

fall 2010 colors trends

Think fabrics with a sheen or, as Lenzing puts it, "special effects applied to fabrics in finishing, printing, laminating or whatever it takes to deceive the eye" or "exploiting interactive technology in clothing."

The colours for this trend from Lenzing are:

Rugged

fall 2010 colors trends

Every new fashion season sees collections that give us a sense of the rugged wilderness, but this is nature from a man-made aspect. One that explores "the relationship between the urban and the natural landscape." The "materials [used] are natural or derivates from natural sources refined by using the best of industrial techniques."

The colours for this trend from Lenzing are:

Exotic

fall 2010 colors trends

Loud colours with a hint of the early 20th Century sit within this exotic look. While using super rights, Lenzing make no reference to the metallics that will be prominent in the Autumn / Fall 2010 season.

The colours for this trend from Lenzing are:

Indentikit

fall 2010 colors trends

Lenzing have dubbed the look 'indentikit', we simply called it fashion futurism. While in our own trend report we've picked up on the wider elements of this trend (not just a modern futuristic view, by a remaking of past interpretations of the future) Lenzing have honed in on the technological influences stating that "materials are inspired from high technology building and military industry."

The colours for this trend from Lenzing are:

The Puritan set of tones is excellent.

Traditionalist and futurist are two of the labels applied to Daniel, but he sees the two as being in perfect balance. With a keen eye on the future and his finger on the pulse he helps keep fashionisers everywhere ahead in the fashion stakes as Fashionising.com's lead fashion trend analyst. Believing that the late-2000s credit crisis will be ultimately good for fashion, Daniel sees a future for fashion where grounded in traditional values; where luxury fashion again comes to represent quality production as opposed to being solely label driven.
