We, the Committee for Colour & Trends (CCT), are a group of fashion professionals living and working in the world’s fashion capitals. Our passion is fashion.
We love shoes and accessories. We have 20+ years worth of design experience. The Committee for Colour & Trends is a niche forecasting service presenting the mega fashion trends of the season fifteen months in advance. However, the Committee then takes the trends a step further to include specifics for all footwear & accessory classifications. Tight-and-right editing eliminates information overload
and provides focused forecast information by delivery cycle within each classification. The Committee aims to provide creative inspiration for on-target design, product development and merchandising. Subscribers are also invited once a season to a live audio-visual presentation in New York City. After it has taken place the presentation will be posted online.

No.1: Colourful Highlights Punctuate Paris Runways
Daytime casual and tailored looks dominated on Paris runways, and the
materials reflected the mood with leather, shearling and fur, the latter
faux and real.
No. 4: Fashion Silhouettes Cover Up
Designers in Paris addressed the upcoming fall season with
season-appropriate cover-ups.

No.3: Print & Pattern Update
Prints were the beneficiary of the colour explosion on Paris runways. Bold
graphics dominated, from striking linear and block designs to vintage
graphics.

Getting tired of that camo jacket you bought a couple of seasons ago?
Don’t! Fashionistas in Milan, New York, Copenhagen and Frankfurt gave their
jackets a creative update this spring.
Generous, oversized silhouettes dominated the fall/winter 2017/18
collections in Milan.
Stripes, checks, animal motifs, flowers and graphic colour blocks don’t
sound very new as far as patterns are concerned. Yet the interpretations of
these familiar themes received a fresh makeover on Milan’s runways for
fall/winter 2017/18.

Although colour made tremendous visual impact for fall/winter in Milan,
upon closer inspection one realized that the fabrics were even more
important.
https://www.colourandtrends.com/blog/2017/4/13/designer-collection-analysis-fallwinter-201718-milan
Shots of colour flashed on Milan’s runways making the point that there will
be room for optimism next fall. Blues ranged from deep midnight to
brighter, royal tints. Reds were represented in most collections, often
from head to toe. Whereas the yellow-cast olive green family continued
strong...
Whether coats, suits, dresses or pants, designers added new twists to
familiar garment silhouettes. Sleeves were a focal point, from only one
sleeve to elongated fluttery sleeves to bulbous romantic sleeves. They
certainly added a new look to blouses, dresses and jackets alike.
It would not be London Fashion Week without designers acknowledging British
heritage classic prints and patterns. There were plenty of tartans,
traditional checks, club stripes, and garden florals, even Fair Isles
sweater patterns. That said, the garments looked anything but classic.

As it is often the case, newness in fashion is not about re-inventing basic
silhouettes, but rather it is achieved with exciting new materials and
treatments. London designers, particularly the talent incubator, Central
Saint Martins took full advantage of technical fabric developments and

London fall/winter 2017/18 collections could easily be taken to be “buy
now/wear now” spring designs. (And, indeed, some of them were, notably
Burberry) Designers simply ignored traditional seasonal colour delivery
cut-off dates and continued to show whites and pales for winter with a
heavy ...
https://www.colourandtrends.com/blog/2017/3/15/lineapelle-is-enthusiastic-about-springsummer-2018
Leather and material collections presented at Lineapelle, the Milan trade
fair, offered a preview of what designers will get inspired by for their
spring/summer 2018 footwear and leather accessory designs. And there was
plenty of inspiration to be found! Leather was still the main attraction ...
https://www.colourandtrends.com/blog/2017/3/15/milan-shops-are-exuberant-this-spring
Sparkly sequins, silky fringe, colourful stones, elaborate embroideries and patches as well as a multitude of bold prints are the essence of Milan shop windows this spring. Ready-to-wear fashions in colourful floral prints project an exuberant mood. Shoes and accessories follow the trend. One

Traditional Brit-style checks and plaids never seem to go out of fashion. They always seem to be there, classic, demure and somewhat in the background. Not so going forward! Plaid-clad fashionistas have been spotted everywhere this season, in London, Stockholm, Paris and New York. And judgin

No. 2 Materials & Treatments Add Newness to Fall/Winter 2017/18 Images/Imaxtree There was sparkle on the New York runways. Not only evening dresses shone in gold, silver, bronze, and copper, coloured metallic fabrics added even more shine. Daytime fashions were equally as enamored with
https://www.colourandtrends.com/blog/2017/2/20/colour-usage-shifts-on-new-york-runways
Will fall 2017/18 be a colourful season, or will fashions be dark and
somber? We will attempt to answer that question.
One could not miss them! Bold legwear patterns and fishnet stockings attracted a lot of attention in London, Paris and Milan this season.

Jewelry and hair accessories will continue with a strong focus on metal, precious or otherwise, and delicate designs will be key.

A handbag is a woman’s calling card, and choosing a new style will certainly show the world that she is fashion-savvy.
http://bit.ly/2ed3VWn
Footwear fashions are evolving for spring/summer 2017. Instead of over-embellished, consider clean and unadorned. Instead of granola casual, think about adding comfort chic and steer towards more tailored-looking footwear.
