My Fall Winter Colour Forecasting Collection of Kenzo

Theme: Redemption with tearful love
This collection reflects the tragic life of Lin Daiyu. She is the Scion of Hsiao-hsiang/ Lady of Bamboo with unique personalities lone and proud and red is selected to represent her.

A) Colour family for the whole collection

Related Colour Scheme
1. Achromatic: Black (Black 3 2X), Grey (Cool Grey 8 and 4), White (PMS803)
Monochromatic
2. One Primary Colour: Red (Red032) with variations in value and chroma (PMS1797, 1807, 188, 1817 and 195)

The major colour in use is red, and achromatic are used to bring it out. Meanwhile the backdrop is a bamboo forest in green which is contrasted with red can further emphasis it.

Before Lin Daiyu redeems Jia Baoyu with tears, the red bamboois fresh (Red032—pure hue at its home value which is the brightest stage).

When she meets Jia Baoyu, every time she cries; the red bamboo loses water (the value of red changes from high to low PMS1797 to 195).
Time flies the red bamboo loses luster (there is a trade off between black and white: reducing white but adding black, the chroma of red is descending from Red032 to 1817).

At the end of the day, Lin Daiyu dies as well as the red bamboo; achromatic dominate (along the grey scale: Black 3 2X, Cool Grey 8 and 4 and PMS803).

B) Principle of colour usage
The major colour red with variations in value and chroma and selecting achromatic along the grey scale are based on the principle of resemblance and the principle of familiarity.

At the same time to represent the life of Lin Daiyu, principle of transition of colour is applied with hues slide smoothly from red (life) to achromatic (death), while values fades from dark to light and intensity melts from bright to dull.
Harmony of colour is created not only because of using related colour scheme (monochromatic—red and along the grey scale) with principle of familiarity, principle of resemblance and principle of transition; conveying a consistent feeling—Redemption with tearful love plays a remarkable role.

C) Development
