Color-Trends or Individuality

Today I'd like to take a little side-track to the choice of colors for your silk-art products.


When I started selling my first scarves (many years ago:), I was faces with a decision you will certainly be faced with as well.
The first retail store I approached (a fashion-boutique), asked for scarves reflecting the upcoming season's color trends.
I was not prepared for that neither did I know where can I get the information about what the color trend will be in 6 or 12 months.

What I learned might help you, if fashion is the path you like to follow.


The colors for every season are defined long in advance. The Color Marketing Group identifies the trend of colors and design in a non-competitive forum of professional members from all around the world.
The designers and manufacturers use this information in their work and present their own collections and themes.
The color themes are dedicated to specific application in diverse industries. There are seasonal color trends for fashion, for knitwear or for home design, vehicles etc.

You will find published color trends on the Internet and many blogs.
For your convenience there are three links to the trends of upcoming fashion seasons.

To have the knowledge of the upcoming color trends will allow you to position your product more clearly in the market you are targeting, and will also speak for you as a competent expert and informed professional.

Of course fashion is just one of many options you have. 
Design your work, so it gives You satisfaction and Joy. 
When you love your products, whatever they might be, you will be able to connect with the buyer through your enthusiasm.
After all, emotions play a big role in every sale.
Have a wonderful week:)
