It’s a secret
If I told you, I’d have to kill you. Told you the Fall 2007 colors that is. I finally made my decision and am very happy with it. The next step will be to sell the line like crazy since it’s so cool–tons of new styles and shapes with fun details that are new and integrated with past designs.
My next color to review is…
Gray: Neutral, balanced and conservative; which is great for replacing a black bag because it adds a little extra mystery to the outfit. Gray evokes strong emotions and can be a moody color (go ahead and be crabby once in a while and blame it on gray).
Visit www.dutchy.net for current colors: black, wine, mocca and nutmeg.
Color time
Today is the day I make the final decision on the colors for Fall. Did I mention how much stress this causes me? Color is very important because buyers are drawn to certain colors and in the fashion business drawn to the ‘in’ color. The ‘in’ color, however, is only speculated on prior to the season with forecasting, but really until you see a bag you have to have in a certain color and all the other women around you feel the same way, the ‘in’ color isn’t real.
So for the next few days I’m going to pay tribute to some of the upcoming forcasted ‘in’ colors. I will tell you about more than I’ll chose for Fall, so you’ll have to eagerly await the lines’ debut in August. Maybe that will help with the ‘in’ concept.
Yellow: Known to signify death in Egypt, courage in Japan, merchants and peace in India, and to represent not only happiness and sunshine, but also deceit and cowardice. Yellow is conflicted; and the colors one choses to compliment yellow will change the communication of the color yellow.
