Céline Green

The fluffy blanket accessories that stormed Céline's runway show are the inspiration for the season's vibrant green tones. Knitwear and accessories are emboldened by strong statement shades that contrast with their soft and tactile fabrications. Vivid hues lift a core base of black and khaki and introduce a high-fashion element to the casual and utility a basics.

Caramel Toffee

First identified in our Fall/Winter 2017-18 Colour Forecast, Caramel Toffee brings a smooth, warming undertone to earthy brown shades. Soft caramel casts lend a sweet and sticky toffee tone to the core palette and give weighty fur and woollen fabrications a lightened yet luxurious feel.

Plasma Red

Bright red tones make their mark as a key colour for the season. Primary shades have an almost luminous quality that creates maximum impact on the catwalks with all-over single-colour looks. Away from the runways, Plasma Red is a dynamic accent shade that adds an urban sporty appeal the apparel and accessories.
