Stay sharp on competitor products, retail trends, and emerging aesthetics to ensure the line remains relevant and differentiated. Presentation & Communication: Clearly communicate color direction internally, producing presentation materials that connect color strategy to consumer insights, product concepts, and creative vision. Present seasonal category-specific color direction to cross-functional stakeholders.
