Tomas Maier calls you, he can't decide what colours to use for his next collection. What would you tell him?

C_24 · Sep 24th, 2007, 11:18 AM

First of all, I think I wouldn`t be able to speak at all if he was calling me!

And when it comes to colors, my dream colors for winter would be a light grey (a little darker than Limo), burgundy red, a deep blue (a little darker than Atlantico), a medium chocolatey brown (something in between Noce and Ebano), rusty brownish red, and fuschia (stronger than the ones from the SS 07 collection). Plus what I think would be really interesting is a Tartan intrecciato that he`s already shown in purple/green in different shades of grey.

For spring, I`d wish for lime green, light blue (already shown for SS08 Men`s), khaki, a sand tone and Yves Klein Blue.

Gosh, if only he really called me!

VKD · Sep 24th, 2007, 11:24 AM

WOW - amazing answer. I would wish for a true coral and a "seafoam" and a muted bronze colour. And maybe a beautiful french navy.

catabie · Sep 24th, 2007, 11:25 AM

omg-if he calls me, i would ask him to give me a shopping spree first before i give him advices on color.

s/s2008--jaune, bright green, and a neutral i can't think of right now

f/w2008-- eggplant, burgundy, and a dark grey like graphite...

ok-start dreaming that he will call me...

VKD · Sep 24th, 2007, 11:28 AM

Eggplant. Amazing. A really deep purple. I'm thinking also a teal colour or a true forrest green.

C_24 · Sep 24th, 2007, 11:39 AM

^^VKD, muted bronze sounds just perfect! Oh yes, and eggplant, catabie! Why don`t we apply for a color supervisor postition even if this has yet to be created?

VKD · Sep 24th, 2007, 11:42 AM

Wouldn't that be the most amazing job!

Eugin · Sep 24th, 2007, 11:49 AM

First, I would think "Am I being punked?" Second, if it was real I don't think I could even get to the colors. Someone just bring me the smelling salts, LOL. . . .

ms piggy · Sep 24th, 2007, 11:52 AM

I'm stumped! You guys have almost all the colours covered. Gotta think harder...

me too.

more shades of grey sounds lovely. burgundys, maybe a deep orange?

and if he called me, I'd do my damm hardest to convince him he needs to hire me as a personal assistant.

Syma · Sep 24th, 2007, 12:13 PM

I'd love a metallic like ottone or a colour darker than Peltro but lighter than Ferro. Oh yes, please make these bags in the veneta and campana styles. I'd also love a really deep blue (like the balenciaga blueberry/blue roi shade). Tomas where art thou??

vanilla_addict · Sep 24th, 2007, 12:21 PM

what a wounderful thread!! i am just

imagining all your dream colors!!

here are mine!

for winter: i want a warm orange autumn leaf color!!

for summer: i want a light hot coco color!!

bprimuslevy · Sep 24th, 2007, 02:12 PM

I'm boring. I would ask for a green close to Hermes' vert anis.

24, Faubourg · Sep 24th, 2007, 02:16 PM

Everyone has such great answers that I have nothing to contribute. I'm so happy with the current seasons' palettes anyway. S/S '07 is my favorite and was what drew me to BV in the first place.

Nymph · Sep 24th, 2007, 10:28 PM

I would honestly think my friends were pulling a fast one on me!

But like Syma, I'd ask for metallic tones - Peltro just the way it is, a matte version of Ottone, and I would die for a pinkish pewterish tone! Yes please!
