itc 3401: The Color forecasting Report

This is the summary of the collection that I had analyze. I put it into a graph so we can easily what Color does Galliano use to use in the past and in the present.

Christian Dior in my mind...

During these several months study on Christian Dior history and past collection, it can be easily seen that what is the image of Dior and also when it comes to Galliano, what happened? The style of the New Look is so memorable that every several year, Galliano will bring it out in a rather different way. Christian Dior used to use black, blue, champagne, sometimes pink. Galliano is a bit different, he uses wide range of colors. One thing I appreciate Galliano very much is the innovation of his idea but never got too far away from Dior. Having the Galliano style "Dior" but still keeping it, having the elagane and gorgeous dresses in each season.And also, Galliano always let us dream. His collection full is always of idea and power.

The Coming 2010 Fall/Winter haute couture....

First, let me analyze the chart, in the collection that I had analyzed, BLACK, PINK and BLUE is a very common one in his collection. And when you look into it, you can see in every several years, Galliano will produced a lot of Achromatic and Monocromatic color scheme dresses. However, when it passed, he will start to use a large range of color. In the past few seasons, you can find it out.

In the 2009 Spring couture, Galliano said that his design won't be affected by the recession, because he need to let people keep dreaming!!! So his coming season would not uses only back and white these sad color tone. And I can predict that after using some monochromatic and achromatic color scheme for such a long time, he will wants something different from this. It doesn't mean that he won't uses these scheme anymore, but further more, he will add some other color to the same outfit. Maybe complimentary color scheme or split-complimentary color scheme may used.

Although sometime his collection is exaggarated using bright color, the color used in the collection will still give us a harmony as a whole, but not too strong and tough because usually Galliano has keep the collection feminine. In these few season, although some bright color has used, but the intensity is not so high and so sharp. It is hard to guess what he is going to do, but still we have a track that I can try to think what he is thinking. I think to suit this with the color premiere 2010, tender style color silient feeling will be used. And the color tone will be soft and the value will be lower.
