Color is the core element of every designer’s life, for whom it is not always easy to predict the mutable changing’s trends, which are nowadays directly connected to the digital world. Hung Yen’s Color Cards provides a ready-made palette of 225 colors – from the must-have, to the breakout new trendy colors, to the evergreen classis – that never disappoints.
Like choosing the perfect fabric for specific applications, having immediate access to a wide range of colors, makes a designer’s work and design process smoother. Colors are indeed the most important choice of making a garment, or an entire collection appealing to the final consumer.
Colors are in perpetual and faster evolution – especially when it comes to fashion – the ever-changing nature of the coloring work is influenced by uncountable factors, which determines every year, as in a natural selection process, the rise of newest and the fall of outdated colors. That is why we consider the colors trend’s research, as an integrated part of the R&D process, where the sensitivity to catch the trends and the ability to translate them into an industrial design process are unique skills.
How the best colors for a new collection, or a new season are determined?
The process implies a massive and sophisticated research work, at the same time – with multiple sources of inspiration, tools, from analogic to digital and multiple factors of influence, followed by a narrow skimming process, which is based on experience, sensitivity, market analysis from a team of experts – that leads to the factors that drives to the best final selection for a new trendy color’s palette, for specific textile application.
Although today we see the color’s trend study applied to new and innovative fields of applications, textile & fashion certainly remains the field where this process expresses its most surprising results. It is indeed up to the fashion designer to master the palettes, along with the material’s selection, to create a one of a kind collection. The gap between sportswear applications and fashion trends is no longer running on different paths, as it was in the past years. Whether we are talking about swimwear, yoga wear, fitness wear, dancewear… sportswear applications today are many, each one with their specific sets of styles, trends and properties, of which colors – and their best combination – are the dominant element.
