Nello Marelli presents "Nel Colore" a new and fascinating editorial project
"The future will arrive and become the present, whether we are prepared and ready to welcome it, or whether we are surprised and overwhelmed by it".
Nello Marelli
We need to anticipate the future: this is what trends are for.
90 colors 10 colors for each theme, there are nine themes.
The themes translate into the language of colors the social, cultural and technological changes that will characterize the season, the period to come.
NEL COLORE: the title and iconic image are followed by the introductory text which defines the relevant themes of the season; second part of the book is dedicated to the detail of the colours, the themes are developed with images and 10 colours, both CMYK and material in fabrics; third part is the guide to the use of trends with two directions: proposals for creating graphics and proposals for color combinations for different variations; the color scheme is very effective because the roles of the colors are well defined: dominant, sub-dominant and accent; fourth and final part is the color correspondence map; the colors are immediately identified in various notation systems to facilitate use both for those with creative needs, those with graphics, or techniques in dyeing and printing.
Where do trends come from? Tackling the topic of trends is complex, we want to objectify something that is intangible! Simplifying, trends arise from the application of the STEEP method plus the time factor and then it is necessary to distinguish what is mutation from what is change. Macro-trend influences technologies for new products, for example the trend towards ecology requires having more electric engines. Fashion and design deal with details: shapes, materials, patterns, colors and we can call them micro-trends.

Katalin Winter
Textile designer, graduated from State Academy of Art and Design Stuttgart (Germany). I have a deep technical knowledge and practical experience in textile design: in printing, weaving and knitting. As well as a high affinity for colors, shapes and materials. My craft-based studies began with each individual warp thread and ended with the realization of a distinctive design. I have a very good sense and eye for the beauty in objects, places and situations. It inspires me to see how a concentrated strength and power emerges from many small individual parts through arrangement, developing its own dynamic that can go in many directions and change things
