Color consultant and curator Lauren Wager,
author of the best-selling Palette Perfect volumes, and colorist,
designer and trend forecaster Sophia Naureen Ahmad, team up in this practical and
inspirational compendium that examines how colors can be used and combined to achieve
specific effects in fashion. We learn what each color means, where the color
name comes from and color combinations that go well with each color, as well as
different fabrics and decorative elements used in fashion in relation to color.
Quick and easy explanations reveal what each color 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 colors and fabrics can be combined with others to
communicate a palette of different moods, emotions and states. A kind of color 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.
