Spring-Summer 2016
APLF Colour &
Material Trends
by Olivier Guillemin [o,o]
in collaboration with the
Comité français de la couleur
A season sensitive to the tender
touch of petals on bare skin,
with the accent on materials and
sensations.
Spring-Summer 2016 unfolds
in a colourful jaunt through four
imaginary gardens…
Gardens presenting nature as you
long for it to be:
- simple and soothing
- joyous and surprising
- exotic and strange
- innovative and technological
- poetic and dreamy...

A new season optimistic about
the future, sometimes drawing on
“deliciously retro” reminiscences of
light-hearted, carefree times.
Colours that are never melancholic,
but often tender and gentle…
White and very pale tints are the
pivots of this season.
Nature and travel inspire intense,
varied, astonishing colour ranges.
Metallic hues linger on with mild
silvery, coppery or golden effects.
Fruity and acid tones, like yellow,
orange and raspberry pink, are the
cheeky, cheerful stars of summer
2016.
