Future Colour: Harnessing the Emotional Power of Colour beyond trends
Join us for a rare look inside the world of Luminary Colour with Founder, Anna Starmer.
The key to beautiful design starts with a deep love for colour and materials. Anna will take you on a creative journey revealing the key colours and storytelling in her latest colour forecast publication – Colour Ecology.
Unique Style Platform:
Unique Style Platform will present an overview of the Key Drivers for the A/W 26/27 season, highlighting the Key Colours, Cultural Drivers, Consumer Attitudes and Macro Trends that will inspire innovation and drive future product directions.
SCOUT:
Underculture reveals itself across Life+Home and Fashion through contrast, craft, and quiet rebellion. From intimate bonds to raw textures and vibrant expression, each concept uncovers beauty at the edges, where personal stories, subtle shifts, and radical softness reshape how we live, connect, and create more meaningful ways of being.
Anna Starmer is the founder of Luminary Colour; she has spent over two decades redefining our relationship with colour - from the world’s leading design studios to the wild edges of the natural world. Her vision is expansive: colour is not surface, but substance; not trend, but story. Through her bi-annual Luminary Colour future forecasting books and collaborations with global brands, Anna has established a language of colour that is insightful, illuminating, intuitive - and entirely her own.
An expert in strong aesthetic identity and visual language, Celestino spent more than 15 years working as a Concept Designer for global fashion retailers. He joined SCOUT as a collaborator in 2016 where his creative and commercial vision has been pivotal to the brands DNA and success, making SCOUT a market-leader in trend forecasting, design intelligence and consumer behaviour.
Jane Kellock is the founder and creative director of Unique Style Platform. After a career as a Womenswear & Childrenswear Designer, her love of forecasting and a desire to innovate and inspire, led her to senior roles at WGSN and Stylus.
USP has gained an international reputation in the trend world and work with a wide range of global Designers, brands and retailers, to provide them with inspirational seasonal analysis and thought-provoking future trends.
