Color Directions for
Fall/Winter 2009
By Roseann Forde, owner, Fordecasting
Free and firey, warm, inviting colors translate effortlessly from global art galleries to international runways in sensuous forms, body beautiful draping and curvilinear contemporary shapes.
Neutral and sleek, the ultimate in modernity, cool hues in angular constructions work magic in geometrically designed apparel, furniture and accessories in progressive print patterns and smart structured weaves.
Hip and happy, varying vivid eye catching color, reminiscent of Hollywood glamour, engages our senses. Film's intellectual, emotional journey and special effects provide fun and fantasy in an increasingly frenetic world
Rich and majestic, deeply saturated, vibrant shades appeal to a creative sensibility in the forms of painting, drawing, photography, music and literature expressing our experiences and enriching our lives immeasurably.
Upbeat and ethereal, pretty midtones go hand and hand with the graceful movements of classical, modern and latin dance. Frothy fabrications float through the air, while rock n roll prints generate pounding rhythm.
