The Acabados Abellán new collection for next autumn-winter season is now available. This new catalogue leaves behind fluorescent colours that have been very present in recent years to make way for more vibrant leather items. Like Houston, a strident red reminiscent of Cayenne pepper, slightly pinkish, with a great intensity. Another bright one is Cardiff, a spontaneous and optimistic orange that transports us to the autumn and brings warmth to any styling.
Trends for next season, not only point towards vibrant colours, but also encourage the combination between shades of the same range: the so-called “colour blocking”, a risky bet that may result in powerful and striking pieces. Next autumn announces that dyes and fabrics will be mixed; they will intermingle and mix again, by way of patches, no uniform structure, as already seen in the designs of renowned brands like Prabal Gurung or Naeem Khan, one of Michelle Obama´s favorite designers.
The palette of Acabados Abellán is inspired by another trend: Nature. Organic hues had never been so appealing before because they now arise from a different perspective. In this range of neutrals, London, a grayish khaki as the plumage of the pigeons, stands out. And grey is the new black. A colour that is now competing with the ubiquitous black and gives, above all, a touch of sophistication and elegance to any look. As Moreda and Trieste, lightly toasted, neutral and friendly colours which are designed to bring us closer to the forests and the days of autumn. A few colours with organic ingredients that always turn out to be relaxing.
Byzantium, this item confirms that animal print trend survives to any season. Defended by an entourage of celebrities who adore both its versatility and stylistic power: Queen of them all is top Kate Moss. And the animal print stays a classic; an autumn must have – though it is also for summer, spring and winter. Capable of getting hold of purses, shoes, coats and all the possible accessories without any type of courtesy, its presence is becoming to be essential, and it is so when such a diverse array of people are put in agreement on the same trend, we are witnessing something very special.
Also natural leather products have their place in the Acabados Abellán new catalogue with another item, Riff. Safari style is to fashion trends as Anna Wintour to Vogue: the unconditional one. Especially this autumn, it will continue to be out there, dyeing designers´ proposals with its khaki and earth tones.
And for the most romantic, the pastel tones. After the hangover of previous years´ fluorescent tones, fashion takes a more relaxed slope by betting for pastel tones such as olive, mauve or blue, the latter being chosen by firms with romantic and dreamy designs such as the Spanish DelPozo. In this line, the mysterious world of the sea inspires the pleasant blue of Cagliari, a colour that evokes the tranquility of the perfect quiet sea, from the intense and pacifying blue of the Peruggia to the more weathered turquoise shades of the Brindisi.
