Colour consultant and curator Lauren Wager, author of the bestselling Palette Perfect volumes, and colourist, designer and trend forecaster Sophia Naureen Ahmad, team up in this practical and inspirational compendium that examines how colours can be used and combined to achieve specific effects in fashion. We learn what each colour means, where the colour name comes from and colour combinations that go well with each colour, as well as different fabrics and decorative elements used in fashion in relation to colour. Quick and easy explanations reveal what each colour communicates, how it can be combined most effectively, what it is known for and its common uses in fashion. Vivid photographs bring the descriptions and explanations to life, allowing us to see with our own eyes how colours and fabrics can be combined with others to communicate a palette of different moods, emotions and states. A kind of colour dictionary within the world of fashion, this practical guide filled with vital information and suggestive images will undoubtedly serve as a valuable source of inspiration for fashion designers, stylists, fashionistas and anyone else interested in fashion.
