Visually, our final trends for AW 2020/21 couldn’t be more different. However, many of the ideas driving them are being effectively expressed in surface design; hence our dedicated focus replacing for just this issue our regular Colour Now early adopters’ section. We also introduce a new series, Trend trajectories, charting the development of certain ever-popular motifs over the centuries, starting in this issue with the pineapple.

And finally, we bring you a selection sourced from the entire Colour Hive team called We personally…, encapsulating things we love and want to share.

• Features and essays exploring the drivers behind this issue’s forecasts
• 46 pages of in-depth trend and colour and material analysis for AW 2020/21
