Interfiliere are always the first to release their take on any season's colour trends, and for spring / summer 2012 it's no different. As a part of the swimwear and lingerie industry the colours they reveal as having frequency and prominence are usually limited to their part of the fashion industry. While some of these colours may be dominant amongst spring 2012's clothing trends, we should caution that there's no guarantee of it.

Unfortunately, at this stage Interfiliere have not released the Pantone codes for their analysis of the spring 2012 colours. However, reading from left to right and starting with the colour swatch above, they're seeing the following colours as trends for beachwear and intimates:

Lime Blosson, Clotted Cream, Hemp, Tortoiseshell
Shadow, Lupin, Foliage, Apple
Sage, Jacinth, Formica, Smoothy


Lapis, Canary, Macaroon, Quince Petal

As color trend companies are want to do, Interfiliere have also grouped their color trends for spring 2012 into different moods. For the spring / summer season they're seeing three distinguishable colour groups: tender, earthy, and floral.

Tender

The clearest and palest of pastels, ideal for lofty and silky fabrics and for a new vintage mood that is more sexy than candid.

Earthy

The earth hues: ochres, oranges and copper tones which support the passion for nature and organic environments to use with mat or shiny effects, with top-of-the-range laces, and for beachwear. Note a surge of 'hand-dyed' effects, especially indigo.

Florals

Floral tones, essential nuances for charming prints available now for ranges of limited volume.
