Final Report-Colour Forecasting Report

After analaying the past collection of Christian Dior, it's the time to forecast the colour tone for the fall winter collection 2010! From the information of the website, it dedicates that the colour tone of fall winter 2010 is cold tone and the chorma is partial to a higher level. So I think the prevailing colour of fall winter 2010 may not be bright and deep colour may be mainly used.

According to what I have learned from the past collection of John Galliano, he seldom focuses on a specific colour (except the 2006 Spring Couture with the theme of revolution). Also, beacause of the style of exaggeration, he always use bright red, yellow and green as a contrast of the whole collection. Those colour nearly appear in all of his latest collection.

Moreover, when compared with the earlier collection John Galliano, the collection of 2009 is much plainer, most of it are focus on the details and cutting of the pieces.
For both the collection of Couture and RTW, black and white are always the must-have element, so achromatic colour must not lack in the collection of fall winter 2010, but the prevailing colour tone of it will be deep,so I think grey will be more cohesive to the trend.

In Fall 2009 Couture, purple is the outstanding colour for this collection, and it bring about a trend all over the world. In 2010, I balieve that John Galliano may choose scarlet as the main colour of the collection. But this time, the value of it may tends to be higher because of the prevailing trend.



Just like what I have said before, I believe John Galliano would not just emphasis on a specific colour. In order to match with his exaggeraion and also contrast of colour. Some brightness colour must be added in the collection, like purple and yellow. But as the focus of the collection will still on scarlet, some detail decoration will still be added in the pieces in the colour of yellow and purple!

In conclusion, the idea and theme of John Galliano's collection is unpredicable, usage of colour must be cohesive to his ideal theme. But I think ths usage of the colour may tends to a higher level chorma bacause of the prevailing trend. Also, scarlet may be the focus of the whole collection ,together with purple and yellow as a contrast of the collection since this 3 colours are split complementary colour! I believe that the fall winter 2010 of Christian Dior may bring about a upsurge in the world again.
