Quick and easy explanations reveal what each color communicates, how it can be combined most effectively, what it is known for and its common uses in fashion. Vivid photographs bring the descriptions and explanations to life, allowing us to see with our own eyes how colors and fabrics can be combined with others to communicate a palette of different moods, emotions and states. A kind of color dictionary within the world of fashion, this practical guide filled with vital information and suggestive images will undoubtedly serve as a valuable source of inspiration for fashion designers, stylists, fashionistas and anyone else interested in fashion. \n \n\n
