SS28 is a long-range Forecut projection. It builds on early SS28 trade coverage (structured clarity and performance design, FashionUnited) and the WGSN × Coloro 2028 colour of the year, Radiant Earth. Individual details and their statuses are Forecut's curated assessment, written in our own words. Colour swatches are screen approximations, not official colour standards.

Status key: Emerging early signals · Rising gaining fast, add now · Peaking at full adoption, use in core styles · Fading phase out in new development.
