The upcoming winter collection is on its way. As specialists in fashion, Gratacós is working on the colours and fabrics for next winter to anticipate our customer’s needs. This month of September, our team has got together in the biannual meeting that we organize to reveal the trends that will be in fashion in one year; the Autumn-Winter 2017/2018 season. This event is led by Rosa Pujol Sans, textile & colour stylist in Gratacós. Here you will find a summary of the findings presented by our expert.

What is new?

COLOURS

1. Pink

The most feminine colour of the chromatic palette is back to tinge winter garments. “It is a colour that is in fashion and which is becoming increasingly timeless” highlights Rosa Pujol. The pink which is coming is a lot more matt than other seasons and combines with blue tones for day garments and red for special occasions.

2. Almost White

In the neutral category, next season we will see light beiges, off-whites and some pinches of metallic grey. “These colours will be mixed with cool oranges, blues and greens” explains Pujol.

3. Kaki

This colour with military relics becomes sophisticated and teams together with silk to distance it from streetwear. “It is a very powerful colour that radiates strength and energy” argues Rosa Pujol. It looks good when mixed with other greens for a camouflage effect and gives rise to experiment with fancy fabrics, embroidery and jacquards.

4. Indigo

The range of dark and vibrant blues is back once again. “Next winter indigo and ink colours will be in fashion, as well as the denim trend from previous collections” claims Pujol.

5. Red

Unbeatable to the passage of time, the colour of blood, desire, love and seduction, red will be present in all types of fabrics again this winter. According to Pujol “livelier tones will be more in fashion than duller ones”.

6. Gold

The 2018 season is gold. The colour of money presents itself in its most matt and least intense version.

FABRICS

In terms of fabrics, the options are more diffused. “Everything is in fashion: jacquards with plains, embroidery with reliefs…..”How we show it is the most important” assures Rosa Pujol. In this way, the fabrics become warm, comfortable and light. “It is important to associate winter with comfort. This would be the highest priority for the next season”.

Next winter, the fabrics also acquire a touch of wool to invoke the cold season. Other trends that are coming: false plains with a relief touch, shiny materials and fancy fabrics continue to look for their reference place, with regards to past seasons. Lastly, a revolutionary fabric has appeared: recycled wool. “It is an innovation in the world of silk and we love it”, concludes Pujol.
