Beth Ranson reports from Florence

The colour palette for AW24/25 featured lime green, aqua and bright cyan blending to deep purple. Charcoal, tan, brown and muted mustard provided an injection of neutral tones. Acidic yellow punctuated the blend of citrus orange, rust toned red and petal pink. From here, the colour palette side stepped into territory seemingly inspired by a spring countryside, with hedgerow and grass greens alongside sky blue gradients. Throughout the stands earthy tones of denim blues, indigos, brown and oranges were prevalent too.

Across spinners, a shade making a ‘come back’ was orange, ranging from pale peaches to bright and even fluorescent tones. Knoll Yarns presented their new offerings catering to this colour palette, with shades ‘Selective Yellow’, ‘Tamarin’ and ‘Ruby’ introduced to their 2/17 Merino Lambswool range. Shades ‘Mikado’ (yellow), ‘Baltimore’ (red) and ‘Lava’ (orange) were added to their Supersoft 100% Pure New Wool 1ply and 2ply range.
