Spring-Summer 2007 will see a wave of White Exhilaration sweeping over colours. It reflects the need for beneficial calm, simplicity and moderation emerging in all trends. Another primary influence this season is Nature, an inexhaustible source of inspiration and central to current environmental issues. Following this path, cutting edge technology adapts natural fibres to consumers' demands. A touch of refined rusticity infuses the spirit of new materials. Light takes hold of colour and plays with subtle, soft gleams, dusty or glossy finishes, with attractive effects suggesting futuristic dreams. Gold, copper and bronze will also make a strong appearance this season. Each colour range can be mixed with others to create customised harmonies, because elegant one-colour patterns and clashing patterns are both synonymous with modernity. However, for Summer 2007, leave a tiny space open for personal expression --- where anything can happen, everything can be mixed at the spur of the moment --- much like a testing ground for unbridled creativity mixed with a dash of fun.
