Join renowned trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort for an exclusive preview of the Spring/Summer 2027 Color and Fashion Forecast.

S/S 2027 Colour & Trend Preview

A tomato used to be red yet now comes in black, brown, purple, green and yellow! Therefore, this new colour forecast is a cookbook, building harmonies as if making a dish, assembling flavours in new ways, using fragrant memories to design emotional colourways and discovering unknown tints inspired by indigenous ingredients. With the appetizing plating of tints and accents, the immense joy of cooking will infuse new joy into the designing of colour.
