Colour Influences SS 2022 – Illusory

Where dreams meet reality.

A nod to the growing trend for digital reality and immersive technology being adapted to all industries, including fashion and interior design, Illusory is unexpected but refined. Contemporary murals in tonal colours, with an element of surprise. Faded, dreamlike pinks harmonize, whilst a bright neon citrus and a deep muted amethyst add an unexpected punch and bring the palette to life.

“Where dreams meet reality. This eye-catching trend allows you to be inspired by all things surreal. The fluid swirls of colours add an element of mystery and surprise. The blush like pinks offers luxury, whilst the synthetic pinks are juxtaposed with the intense almost neon accessories.”

– Lisa Miller, Senior Graphic Designer

“Dreamy and fun, Illusory curves between reality and the digital worlds of our imagination. Romantic hues of blush, rose and raspberry, swirl and layer colour upon colour. Inspiration is drawn from the free-flowing Surrealism art movement and the cute stylised culture of KawaIi.”

– Jemma Saunders, Crown Colour Specialist

“With sweet shades of pink enveloping you all around in a fluid motion, illusion becomes an unreal reality. Enter the world of the digital dreams and magic. The space of strange beauty and surreal elegance.”

– Justyna Korczynska, Senior Graphic Designer

“Romantic, dreamlike, candy colours blend together to create this trend inspired by augmented reality, surrealism and Kawaii, the Japanese culture of cuteness. Digital pinks are everywhere, paired with fluid and curved shapes to recreate a look of playful and strange beauty that mirrors the impact the digital world is having on our society.”
