Spring Trend Themes And My Own Inspiration

i went to a presentation at school today, by stylesight.com which is a great website for aspiring designers to research trends and get other inspiration. the presentation was about the progression of technology and the spring trends and colors of 2014. what impressed me the most was the evolution of technology and how much it has helped to progress the innovations of fashion. the images from the color stories and themes were graphic, vivid, and rich in ideas and color. so i thought i do a little bit of my own research and share with you the things i saw.

there wont be any styling of outfits today, but what i hope you will get out of seeing these colors and themes are your own ideas for outfits. :)



 

each season teams of people collaborate together to create the themes and color stories for the upcoming season's trends. these themes are usually divided into four stories or categories based on the inspiration and the color complements.

 

Theme 1. rich hues

 

 

 

 

deep earthy rich tones are color story for this season. according to the guest speaker, the tangerine orange is meant to stay for the next couple of years. but these colors create a moody arty feeling to any wardrobe or interior, even exterior space.

 

Theme 2. romantic tones

 

 

 

 

 

soft muted colors are always in for the spring and summer, pastels are always favored. but these have a greyish tone to them that gives a whole new feel to these beautiful colors. our guest speaker described them as ballerina colors.

 



Theme 3. muted neons

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

neons are going slightly out of style, which for the sake of the fashion world might be a good thing. taking the place of the bright highlighter colors are bright colors with a more muted feeling. they aren't so in your face. again orange is a huge part of the color theme.

 

Theme 4. Putty and Clay

 

 



 

 

 

black and white is trending more than ever for spring and summer, but a neutral palette of putty grey and beige is also trendy. this is super earthy and natural and romantic in feel as well. each color seems muddy and dirty and yet and a clean classic look.

 

 

 

 



 

 

Color combinations are subjective, your personal eye will draw you to what you will find aesthetically pleasing. however, understanding and researching colors trends for each season opens you up to a new world of trend, ideas, opinions, inspiration, and knowledge. you will see colors and combinations you didnt even knew existed.

 

 

 

 

inspiration can come from all over. one thing i have learned as a designer is never allowing yourself to be uncreative, never allowing yourself to prevent something from inspiring you, never allowing yourself the opportunity to grow. accepting that you might be bad at first. accepting that its your choice and your design. my inspiration comes from everything, the people i see, the textures, the smells, the colors i see every day.

 

i hope you got something from this blog post, and your own inspiration for outfits and fashion

 

Much Love <3
