About Fashion and Color

Fashion and color trends come and go, but who decides what’s in and what’s out? How do the people who create and coordinate these forecasts know what the important color stories will be for fashionable looks that won't be arriving at retail racks for up to 20 months afterward?

Cotton Incorporated retains forecasting experts at its Consumer Marketing Headquarters in New York who provide intelligence to the textile industries through its semi-annual Apparel Color and Fabric Trend Forecasting report and its annual Home Color and Fabric Trend Forecasting, offered once a year.
