Brighten up your autumn mood with “ready-to-launch” spring- summer 2021 color trends and systems by Carlin X Archroma

Archroma, a global leader in color and specialty chemicals towards sustainable solutions, and Carlin, the trend office who pioneered trend forecasting back in 1947, will be at Premiere Vision Paris, where they will share a booth fully dedicated to color creativity, inspiration and performance.

Visit Archroma and Carlin at Premiere Vision Paris, 17-19 September 2019, Hall 6, Booth 6N10/6P9 & 6N12/6P11

Carlin is well known in France and abroad for its "trend-oriented" expertise from brand strategy and collection design, to color creation and trend forecasting. Carlin serves famous brands in the fashion, cosmetic and sportswear industry, such as GAP, Empreinte, Byredo, Birchbox, and Samsung.

“Ready-to-launch” color trends by Carlin x Archroma

Carlin is using the color references of the 'Color Atlas by Archroma®' during its color workshops throughout France, as well as in its 20 yearly publications.

The Color Atlas contains 4,320 colors on cotton poplin, and online, almost double compared to similar tools available to textile and fashion specialists. It is a unique tool dedicated to providing fashion designers and stylists with off-the-shelf color inspiration that can be implemented in production with just a few clicks.

At Premiere Vision, Archroma and Carlin will provide full consultation from color trends to color inspiration to color implementation from the first mood board all the way into production.

Sneak preview at SS2021 color trends

At the booth, Carlin will present its trend books for Spring-Summer 2021.

The IMPULSE SS2021 trend book presents Carlin’s four main themes for Spring-Summer 2021: “ALTA VISTA”, “RIVERSIDE”, “SENSO” and “REVELRY – RE?JOUISSANCES”, with a detailed and inspiring macrosocial decoding and several creative leads for each of the themes.

The booth itself will bring to life “ALTA VISTA”, an expression of rising societal trends such as "warm expressions", "sustainable greengrocers" or "essential materiality”. The theme translates into incredibly bright colors, such as “Inca Indigo”, “Red Earth”, “Bougainvillea” and “Cibola Gold”, to make Spring-Summer collections popping and uplifting!

Carlin x Archroma will give an exclusive series of short presentations at the booth for a sneak preview of the SS2021 color trends.

“IT’S OUR NATURE” – Color systems to enhance your collections and protect our planet

The longing for nature is one of the strong undercurrents in the macro social changes that Carlin uncovered and translated into color trends: From the emerging taste for distinct food flavors, to the growing use of natural ingredients to replace synthetic ones, to the research aimed at bringing nature back into cities and into our lives.

It’s our nature”.
