Color Solutions International Partners with Amsterdam Fashion Institute to Expand Color Trend Awareness Across Europe

Color Solutions International (CSI) has recently partnered with AMFI-Amsterdam Fashion Institute in a strategic move to advance CSI’s color trend awareness across European markets.

The students were presented with a classroom ColorWall™ which will be a useful tool in developing color innovation in the curriculum and for developing seasonal color palettes. “We are very excited to partner with AMFI to teach the next generation of designers about the CSI color system”, commented Hans Jansen (Brand & Retailer Communication Manager, North Central Europe).

CSI provides designers color services from inspiration to shelf. With design tools like the Colorwall, a stationary display with over four thousand colors in 2” x 4” ribbon form, certified standards ensure correct color communication throughout the design process.

Established in 1992, AMFI offers the only Bachelor program in the Netherlands which covers the entire fashion chain: from design and production to distribution and communication. These students will provide their knowledge of seasonal color trends while getting the chance to work with CSI’s innovative design tools

Leslie Holden (Head Fashion & Design and Fashion & Management departments): “It is essential that students learn the power of color as part of their design training, and that this is not an afterthought to form. The CSI ColorWall™ provides us with an excellent teaching and learning tool. This helps lecturers deliver a clearer message about color and enables students to question preconceived ideas and innovate new combinations.”
