APLF Colour & Material Trends Spring / Summer 2025

by Olivier Guillemin [o,o] in collaboration with the Comité Français de la Couleur.

 

In a tormented, uncertain world, the spring-summer 2025 season

invites us, once again, to focus on positive impulses.

These contrast impulses bring together and create an equilibrium between classicism

& audaciousness, sport & poetry, sensuality & exuberance and past & future.

The season also expresses the mutation of our systems for production and

consumption plus takes a new look at the relationship between man and nature.
