FAUNA
COLOURS FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2025
After a period of self-criticism during the Anthropocene, we begin to take on a new consciousness embodied in symbiotic relationships between humanity, fauna, and the planet. This new alliance is based not just on human volition but also our relationship with technology. It's all about multiple relationships with the world around us.
We see a strong return to essential colours, from marbled whites and greys to the stories of our beginnings in the Rift Valley with savannah greens and browns, complemented by a feeling for all the blues not just of our earthly atmosphere but also our primeval watery world.
FAUNA CONTENTS
EMERGE
A range of new neutrals that play with dryness and humidity, with roughness and slipperiness, with ultra-matte or pearly.These are tones that express a respect for the soil that and makes life grow.
PRIMORDIAL
Cleaving away the excess to reveal the bare bones encourages a celebration of what is essential and meaningful. Like a sculptor moulding clay, there is an opportunity to reshape our world and decide how best to move forward.
HOMO SAPIENS
We have evolved so much, but now it is time to look back and be inspired by the earth from which we came. Everything is stripped away to raw colour, exposing the primitive animal that we once were.
REWILD
This is a defensive colour story, where colour acts as a carapace, quietly warding off danger. A collection of dark and cool metallics is echoed by drier shades of grey, tinged with violet.
MENAGERIE
It’s time to be a child again and delve into fictional worlds. We put on masks and picture ourselves as fantastic creatures, pursuing freedom and releasing our animalistic selves.
EDEN
Strong deep colours that are imbued with depth and integrity: they speak of naturalness and universality. These colours are ubiquitous and practical for many end-uses from casual and athleisure to fashion and architecture.
PREEN
This colour story is a cool conversation about display, camouflage, and ritual. It is also a story about a universal ever-blue mood, skewed, shaded, and shimmered with a cast of green reflections.
TRANS SPECIES
Slightly subdued tones that seek to flow and manifest themselves without too much spectacle. A peaceful and beneficial camouflage – shades that, like many animals, hide among mosses, flowers, and crystalline streams.
