SPRING SUMMER 2012 APLF PRODUCT TRENDS by Olivier Guillemin [o,o] in collaboration with the Comité Français de la Couleur FASHION YOURSELF! SPIRIT OF THE SEASON It is time to look ahead, step out in a lively, bold spirit. A season for exchanges and celebrations, time to share, act, discover and create. Take hold of fashion and its codes. Tell your own story. Play with colours and materials. Have fun mixing and matching, taking risks. A season of more eclectic, open styles: Colours play on contrasts and paradoxes to surprise us and can be mixed without restraint. A season with very subtle changes in textures and effects: The beautiful classics play at innovation. Surface effects and finishes are inspired by nature, but an idealised nature. Technical materials go sophisticated and romantic. Textures and materials fuse to create vibrating effects. A season looking for balance, in which nature and technological innovation team up in a dynamic search for elegance, a sustainable world and generous colour. www.aplf.com www.ooparis.fr www.comitefrancaisdelacouleur.com
