INTRODUCTION
After years of Vintage-oriented styles, the renewed focus on structure, shape and ultimately design,
witnessed over the past few seasons, continues togain momentum…
From an attitude of passeist retreat we are now once again turning to future.
Tomorrow future, which is loosing its cold edge, will reintegrate reassuring values and be
animated with fantasy-futuristic energy.
Tomorrow the refuse that overwhelms us, the notions of Fair Trade and recycling will become
pretexts for heightened creativity.
Now more than ever, our yearning for colour and texture will enhance our vision of a future that
tended to be too virtual. Grain, thickness, sheen, subtle harmonies and chromatic vibrations will
bring more human touch.
Meanwhile, the everyday environment takes a pragmatic turn. Fashion codes are less complicate,
messages are clearer. This season show its dual nature: there is time for tranquillity, intimacy,
softness, for the simple poetry of functionality, but there is also a time for self-expression,
personalization, breaking away from normality.

Spring 2008 Colors

The Freedom in Doing Otherwise
LAUNCHING into a season marked by energy and difference.
Rediscovering a taste for the present,
anchoring oneself in reality,
savouring the dynamic of the ephemeral
and joining in tomorrow's time.
Delighting in connivances between neutrality and colour,
tasting the complementary alliances of nature and artifice,
of sport and urban universes.
Fertilising affinities between naturals and synthetics
shine and mattness
compacts and fluids
stretch and transparency.
Daring to move out from the shadows and savour fantasy.
Brightening what is tangible,
illuminating emptiness,
humanising the city,
solidifying contrasts,
provoking desire,
promoting the subjective,
believing in the power of creation.
Jumping onto the springboard to difference
and finding the freedom in doing otherwise.

ASSERTING yourself, and bringing the energy of colour into the light of day. Savouring the luminosity of their
complementary and unexpected alliances, their bold and delicate collisions, their specific harmonies. A dense and
moving range of colours in which to envelop and flaunt yourself, thanks to their particular nature. As springboards to
vivacity, neutrals position themselves as allies and not essentials. They multiply in nuance, tone and value to gain in
neatness, and to find the accuracy of colour associations. As rare and indispensable punctuations, darks underline
luminosity. They reveal their constructive restraint with precision, and combine in measured opposition. As vectors of
energy, brights initiate motion. They proclaim their affirmed temperaments and position themselves as inciters of
contrasts, to stimulate neutrals and enliven soft tones. As dynamising sparks, acidic tones play the role of agitators.
They exalt clarity in colours, and manifest their tangy freshness to upset darks, activate light shades and tease
brights. As an energising fulcrum, yellow infuses tones, brightening up beiges, lightening greys and wooing purplish
shades to incite grating complementarities.

Fashion colours for Leather Spring/Summer 2008

The current edition of the TFL Colour Trends & Fashion Inspirations catalogue for the spring/summer
2008 season deals with the natural theme flowers. The new fashion trends bring us a return to nature in
our homes and on our bodies. Prints of leaves and flowers mixed together stand out strongly in the
universe of the Fashion System.
Colour consideration ( chic )
Let?s play with opposites, inspired by the ply of light with shadow, for a rich range full of darkness and
mystery. Colours where dark and disturbing nuances blend with blood tones, before moving on through
a range of shades to reach night-time hues. A rigorous, at times melancholy harmony, with shades of
technology and passion.

Colour consideration classic
Lets have fun with contrasts inspired by abstract painting, where many colours seem natural, but are
not. Unusual colours and combinations melt into one another, playing upon futuristic and egological
nuances. A harmony contamined by electronics, with something chemical blended in to transformcolour
schemas, with powdery and nocturnal shades.

Colour consideration casual
Lets relax with faded, almost invisible colours, contaminated with shades lifted from nature. A colour
range that gives a false sense of security, with its neutral tones that take shape and stifle the brighter
colours, diluting one another. An intimate and pleasant sense of harmony, enlivened with light and
opalescent effects: with soft and delicate nuances.

Spring / Summer 2008

Here is your top 10 color predictions from Anne Telford from New York Fashion Week. Heidi
Klum says, that in fashion "one day you're in, the next day you're out" but when it comes
to colors- their popularity shifts with the cultural winds. Colors come into prominence from
decade to decade driven by influence ranging from the state of economy to world politics
and cultural phenomena- these factors examined by the color experts, and the prism
through which they are viewed is the world of fashion.
New York fashion designers are flourishing in a season of new beginnings, using surprising
neutrals with innovative splashes of corals, yellows and purples to create a spring in
bloom. Tarragon is the freshly cut stem to the blossoming shades of sweet Strawberry Ice,
warm Golden Apricot and violet-infused Hollyhock. Café Crème is the rich, creamy contrast
to the serenity of calming Sky Blue or the deliciousness of refreshing Grapemist.
The yellow glow of gleaming Green Sheen and the blushing beauty of diaphanous Silver
Peony reflect the infusion of life brought by spring. While cool Frost Gray was an important
presence in fall of '06, the newest neutral for spring is found in glimmering Opal Gray,
providing the background to spring's multifaceted, complex brights that can make even the
most basic silhouette come alive.

Le Cuir à Paris - Trends Summer 2008

We present you herewith a preview of the trends for summer 2008. They will be further
developed in the next edition of LE CUIR A PARIS.
The Trend Gallery's fashion information for SPRING-SUMMER 2008 is relevant to all
segments of the leather market: ready-to-wear, decoration, footwear, leather goods and
gloves.
Elegances
Summer 2008 describes an intimate, inward-looking world focused on the body. It conjures up
a person full of ambivalent elegance, with contrasting or mutually supportive qualities. A
person fascinated by contemporary art who takes inspiration from digital photos, video
exhibitions, conceptual installations, vegetal design and land art. A way of sucking in nature
and spitting it out as a conceptual manifesto. A dream of well-being and humanised design. A
person able to reconcile extremes, from the monumental to the molecular, from the
ostentatious to the austere. We invite you to step into this ambiguous world and discover its
many qualities.
Discreet and Bucolic
Discreet, they exalt traditional craftsmanship to give new value to modernity, and adopt a new

relaxed attitude which combines charm and modesty with creativity. Bucolic, they praise the
return to high quality basics, timeless classics, and reinvent fashion that is easy to wear but
sophisticated. In town or country, they lunch around a futuristic kitchen table made from
eternal materials and add a dash of hot ketchup to their steamed organic vegetables.
Clever and Curious
They have dreamed of or visited faraway lands and have soaked up all kinds of exotica. They
superimpose images of wild nature and urban technology to nourish their handicrafts. Land
art sets the tone and feeds their cross-cultural exoticism. They invent hyper-reality and ultranature and use synthetic imagery to transfigure the ordinary. They respect traditions and
adapt know-how. They are their own fashion designers, swathe themselves in heavy fabrics,
hammer leather and metal and pile on elaborate ornaments.
Free and Artistic
Up to the minute, they flit from one show to another captivated by design and avant-garde
architecture. Fascinated by active sports and well being, they cultivate a relaxed sexy attitude.
They plunge into feverish nights and glamorous cocktails swinging their gilded or fluorescent
pink accessories. They are addicted to brands and logos, love luxury codes, one-off pieces
and special attention. Shuttling between Los Angeles, Basel, Miami and Dubai, they are their
own fashion directors, customise their sports bags, drop the hoods of their metallic roadsters
and sprawl on their streamlined lacquered sofas.
Mathematical and Dreamy
Mathematicians, chemists, engineers and poets have invented flexible, translucent materials elastic, supple fabrics mindful of skin. They dream of chrysalises and membranes suspended
in space. They explore the sky map and the ocean floor to design a creature in parenthesis,
holding its breath, light and immaterial. They imagine bubble shapes, pleated corollas, and
puffy, inflated silhouettes. Lit up by optical fibres and luminous crystals.
COLOUR RANGE Summer 2008
The hours string out along a beautiful summer day. The hazy colours of early morning are
followed by the sunny hues of lunch in the open air.
The bluish shades of the siesta hour give way to the flashy, arty, flowery colours of a frenzied
dance on the sand.
At last, the day draws to a close, plunges into deep night punctuated by charred browns and
striped with luminous flashes.
