Dulux makes HSBC Colombo Fashion Week 2013 'Go Indigo'
The Hilton Colombo hosted HSBC Colombo Fashion Week 2013. Dulux, a
well renowned colour company was present at this prestigious occasion as
the Official Colour Forecaster; the made a bold and fashionable
statement with the colour of the year which is Indigo. Each year the
Aesthetic Center of Akzo Nobel in the United Kingdom brings together a
panel of international creative experts who are from diverse fields such
as design, architecture and fashion. These experts draw inspiration from
fine arts to technology to identify the colour palettes for the year,
which showcases the 'in' colours from shades of blue, red, yellow,
orange, green, grey and so on. From that colour palette they choose the
colour for the year. This year the colour chosen was Indigo; a colour
that makes a striking statement but at the same time has time ability to
create a sense of tranquility all the while enhancing the environment
around it.
This year Dulux ensured that Indigo was the highlight of fashion
week. As the official colour forecaster of the event Dulux brought
indigo to the forefront with a large Indigo inspired stall with the
simple but clear statement 'Go Indigo'. This encouraged all those at
fashion week to incorporate the colour to their wardrobe.
Many of the collections featured Indigo this year. One special note
was that of well known Sri Lankan designer, Gihan Ediriweera who based
his entire collection on Indigo, using it as his inspiration. Dulux went
another step further this year by providing Indigo inspired lighting to
create excitement for many of the other collections as well.
It was apparent that style and glamour were in no short supply at
this year's HSBC Colombo fashion week, however, once again Dulux was
able to heighten their experience and give the fashion elite of Colombo
insight into the colour trends of the year and increase the vibrancy of
their daily lives as they boldly requested all to 'Go Indigo'. |
