Fabric forecast for the 2011 season.

Forecasters are saying that the concept of moving forward without forgetting the difficult times we are going though is going to influence the color pallets in 2011.  The difficult times so many have experienced are leading many people to seek stability in their surroundings, with their relationships and inside themselves.  We are all looking for ways to save and conserve instead of being wasteful.  Instead of throwing things away, we are starting to look for opportunity to reuse and recycle.


With that in mind, the color trends for 2011 will allow us to bring the past and the future together in fresh new ways.  We are going to see pallets that reflect the earth, and our natural surroundings.  Some of the pallets we are going to be seeing in 2011 are vegetable tones: eggplant, greens, mineral and born in nature neutrals such as fields of hay being harvested, fresh milk and butter.


  
We are also going to be seeing strong colors that take us back to a glamorous but simpler time of film and advertisements in the 30's and 40's.  These pallets will be dominated by black, brown, beige and taupe with deep reds used as accent colors to compliment the flow.









Finding a space for one's self to relax, escape and dream will be reflected in cloud driven pallets with polychromatic hues.  The pallet then flows into astral glows with iridescent qualities much like the following:    bright chartreuse, empire yellow, sea pink, deep sea coral, carrot, brown sugar, ultramarine, clematis blue and bachelor button
.









The world, as a community, will influence much of the color pallets that are shown in 2011.  The color pallets will be a refection of the modern environmental sensibility from all over the world; rich colors and the mixing and matching of of those colors, animal prints and maps of Africa, bright rich colors with tribal influences from South America and geometric pasterns that weave together an eclectic, eye-catching patchwork.
