defined through finding a new state of mind and expressing one’s self in fresh ways. Fall/Winter
2014 will bring delicate change inspired by a yearning to break free from yesterday’s memories.
Soft and tranquil hues of pink and yellow mix with darkness to balance out a break of freedom
from caliginous pasts. Pops of brighter tones will mix delight with serene moods.
Brave. Peaceful. Strong

soul will bring insight to a new shape
of life. Rich oranges, greens, and reds
will combine with darkness. a pop of
light will be found in yellow to signify

ture to organic shapes.

Without rebirth no one can reinvent.

vealing side.. A variety of pinks allow
blacks and grays to be reborn with
them. Comfort will be found in stripping

us in Fall/Winter, and break out lighter
sheer hues. Rebirth means not being
afraid to show yourself.

Lotusland Lotusland is formed from the internal desire to discover a refined organic paradise. Palm trees and island breezes
are left behind for the idea of a perfected austere lifestyle. Natural inland landscapes will be sought out as
inspiration for a paradise that brings humanity back to its roots. The idealization of natural rural environments
creates an idyllic paradise free from technological advancements and disintegration of privacy. This rural setting
will blend with euphoric mind sets to create a quintessential mental and physical being. Lotusland combines rich
greens, oranges and yellows with soft muted hues to fructify the essence of this outer paradise fusing with an
inner paradise.

pinks. Nature will rope you in and leave
you in a trance.

Dark NostalgiaBeauty will be found in much more than aesthetically pleasing images and alluring colors. A deeper look at the aban-
doned and forgotten parts of life will bring discovery of exquisiteness in the most unexpected of places. Fall/Winter
2014 will bring change in the way we view beauty. A change in how we perceive beauty will lead to a cultural shift
toward finding allure to all the things the world is made of. Abondonment, corrosion, and decay will provide the per-
fect hues and tones of vibrant colors. Deep blues, oranges and red will mix with dark browns to create a rustic mood.
Pops of teal will bring the richer colors to life.
Rustic. Playful. Independent.
Abandoned
Dark Nostalgia will open people’s eyes
to abandonment. It will be the aban-
donment of who you were in your past
and the beauty you find in all your
past mistakes. Reds, oranges, tans, and
browns encompass the sadness and
happiness you will find through aban-
donment.

your mind and body to be alone with your
thoughts of past memories. Layers of
soft and warm cloths will drape around
you for comfort. Rough textures will be
from wools and prints.
Corrosion
Corrosion is the beauty behind deterio-
ration. There will beauty in old build-
ings and objects that at one time were
a part of our society. We will see
the beauty in the memories that have
slowly rusted and corroded out of
them over time. Those colors influence
out pallet in Corrosion. Rustic reds and
oranges bleed into blacks and tans. All
the while a little brightness from the
origins shines through.

Decay is the final piece of Dark Nostal-
gia. Here, we let our memories of the
past be at peace and decay away. Ap-
precation for the beauty in decay will
be found. A brighter blue, red, and green
is the mark of moving on from the past
but not forgetting its beauty.

furs. Prints will depict the beauty of
natural destruction.
