Last week, we had The Color Association of the U.S. (CAUS) plus an Aboubakar Fofana trunk show! Leslie Harrington, Executive Director of CAUS and Tess Murdoch, Senior Trend Analyst gave us some background history on CAUS and talked about how forecasting is changing and also, how they just launched their very first natural dye collection with Botanical Colors as part of the 2022/2023 color forecast! We also get some usually members-only access to some of their exciting historical colors spanning over 100 years.
If you are interested in having access to the CAUS site, that includes access to the CAUS archives and color naming index, Leslie is offering a digital membership special for $99 for the year. Email her at [email protected].
After the CAUS presentation, our good friend Aboubakar Fofana joined us from his studio in France for a live Aboubakar Fofana trunk show! Any time you get to hear Aboubakar talk about his work and all that it supports you should. His trunk show is now live. Shop here.
