# Couture Color-Blocked Catwalks The Bill Tornade Fall/Winter 2012 Will Have You Feeling Blue By John Ibbitson | Published 2012-01-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bill-tornade-fall-winter-2012 References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/bill-tornade-fallwinter-2012/) & [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es) Color blocking with shades of purple, blue, tan, grey and black, the new Bill Tornade Fall/Winter 2012 collection shows off its wears with a diverse range of casual wear, outerwear and suited separates for men. [Modern tailoring and slim silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea) come together in this line to create a collection that is contemporary, but that still has references to the past. [Fur-collared coats, leather jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-winter), [color-blocked sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-dualities) and dapper suiting are all key pieces to this one-of-a-kind collection. My favorite look is a black and purple jumper paired with matching purple trousers. And, although this collection has some loud uses of color, it presents those hues in a way that is sophisticated and wearable. So add some bright blue to your wardrobe with the Bill Tornade Fall/Winter 2012 line and maybe, when winter arrives, you won't be feeling that way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Color Blocking Fashion:** The trend of color blocking in fashion presents opportunities for designers to create unique and visually striking clothing items. - **Contemporary Tailoring:** The trend of contemporary tailoring allows fashion brands to combine modern silhouettes with traditional techniques, resulting in fresh and sophisticated collections. - **Sophisticated Use of Color:** The trend of using bold and vibrant colors in a sophisticated manner opens up opportunities for designers to create visually appealing and wearable clothing pieces. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Design:** The fashion design industry can leverage the color blocking trend and contemporary tailoring techniques to create innovative and stylish collections. - **Apparel Manufacturing:** The apparel manufacturing industry can capitalize on the demand for color blocked clothing items and invest in state-of-the-art production processes to meet the market needs. - **Fashion Retail:** The fashion retail industry can tap into the trend of sophisticated use of color and offer a wide range of visually appealing and fashionable clothing options to the consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Parisian Sophisticated Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nn07.md) - [Seasonal Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1.md) - [Minimal Tailored Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea.md) - [Fall Technical Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atom-collection.md) - [Sartorial Co-Ed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soulland-2.md) - [Measured Winter Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-fw26.md) - [Future-Forward Layering Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/north-seainspired-fallwinter-2025-line.md) - [Timeless Sophisticated Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fallwinter-2025.md) - [Seaside-Influenced Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fort-2.md)
