There are exciting things happening in the world of fashion this year! I am ecstatic to report the colors Tobe has predicted for Fall/ winter 2016. In this time of fashion woman’s fashion continues to be a forward and innovative thinking business mak-ing the customer or audience intrigued by the world of fashion.

This season’s colors inspiration begins with Elemental Pop, which takes the ab-stract shapes, colors and elements of nature, developing them into a print or color of garment to compliment the silhouette. Tobe looks to a more natural source of inspiration. Natural Exploration introduces the idea of exploring through nature, surrounded by the beauty of it. Neutral colors create the focus on silhouette and function of the garment. In the, On Beat, In Control trend we look at the idea of be-ing in power between day and night being in power of our lives living independently, consisting of a bright orange and midnight blue. Lastly, Soft Oasis focuses on the soothing state of mind with pastel colors that are soft in color and look to the touch. This woman consumer will have many options of colors in her wardrobe depending on what the day is and how she feels.

Each color story shows a breakdown of a primary, secondary and accent color pal-ette for the woman consumer for Fall/ Winter 2016. We at Tobe believe that these colors will introduce a new and fresh palette for women’s wear. I look forward to reporting how she wears it in Tobe’s next forecast issue.
