Materials
Textiles are becoming lighter and are soft, generous, floaty and smooth to the touch. Silks are becoming ethereal, with an unrivalled feeling of softness. Satins are light with cotton/silk and silk/elastane mixes. Crepe fabrics are becoming increasingly uneven and coarse to the touch, whilst chiffon fabrics are seen to be playing around with fine stripes.

Colours
Sandy colours such as camel, ivory and oatmeal. A range in aqua blue with a muted emerald green. Reds: pale peony, electric pink, rosy peach and saffron red. Dark colours: navy blue and anthracite.

Colours
Solar-inspired colours are combined with the neutral tones of the Beauty in Motion theme, as well as darker colours such as brown and black. Reds are set alight and greens add a hint of sparkle, enlivened by fiery yellow and aniseed, whilst blues bring a soothing touch to the range.
