Colour Inspiration: The Storyteller
My first career in creating graphics for fashion in the early 90s made me aware of resources such as Textile View magazine and the agency WGSN that gather future trends based on culture, politics, travel, scientific and technological developments to inform future trends. It's fascinating and not something to follow religiously, however their 'Storyteller' feature first published in 2016 is still going strong and relevant today.
