Sunbleached, baked, tanned and faded

Summer is always a time of optimism and enthusiasm. Blinds are drawn back to let in bright light and fresh air. Sunlight floods our homes and gives us a boost of energy. We live our lives outdoors.

"Highlights" reflects this change in attitude. Colours are natural, homespun and bleached by the sun. Textures are rough and handworked; tones contrasted, like sunlight and shadow.

The flowers of the "Highlights" trend reinforce this natural outdoor style. Grasses and meadow flowers mix artlessly win loose, casual bouquets or miniature sheaves. Colours are sunbleached, faded - whites, beiges, pale buttermilks, contrast with touches of amber, corn, khaki and soft grey-green.
