Cotton Inc. Fall/Winter 2007 Color Trends, Part One


Intrigue
  • This color theme is all about neutrals, with an added element of mystery.
  • Think of James Bond and high tech finishes on fabrics.
  • But these colors can also be found in classic fabrics such as textured tweeds.

Provocateur
  • This color palette has strong red and yellow undertones, with a dark chocolate brown as a background accent color.
  • Think of a return to Romance.
  • The textured fabrics inspired by this palette will include pointelles, loose knits, jacquards, tweeds, and perhaps even fabrics with a polyurethane finish.


Muse
  • This color palette is soft and neutral.
  • Fabrics will be heavily textured to make up for the neutral palette.
  • Look for textured yarns with slubs, luxury blends of cotton-wool and cotton-silk, corduroy with wide wales (striping), pointelles, crochet knits, and metallic linings.
