Trend booklet showing for Autumn/Winter 2014-15 fashion and color themes full of contrasts.

The color groups, too, selected in close cooperation with Modeurop, the Fashion Pool at DSI (Deutsches Schuhinstitut GmbH), contrast - from lightness over intensity to darkness, though they can be combined homogeneously within the respective color groups. The Fashion up! Trend booklet illustrates actual leather samples which were developed during an international trend workshop and which helps Clariant's customers to create their own collections.
