APLF Colour & Product Trends Fall Winter 2024/25

by Olivier Guillemin – [o,o] in collaboration with the Comite Francais de la Couleur

Autumn-Winter 2024/25 is a reflection of our desires in a turbulent, ever-changing world.
IMPULSE is the season’s generic theme with a positive desire to highlight innovation, creativity, spontaneity, fantasy, audacity… and even humor!
Colours and materials are inspired by eternal, natural elements like water, air, earth and fire in contrastwith the virtual and cosmic.

The 4 themes’ shades blend in surprising or regulated harmonies that combine together perfectly.

Structurally natural colours. Leather, earth and ash tones lightened up by clay yellow and chalky grege.

Timeless and exceptional materials.
