Chromophilia is an art project and a collection of garments focused on the role that colour plays in a fashion and art.

The name Chromophilia is adapted from David Batchelor´s book Chromophobia.

This book is concerned with the fear of corruption or contamination through colour (chromophobia) and its modern

and contemporary manifestations, as well as with resistance to it in art.

Colour as an indicator of social mood, environment and culture, has significant commercial implications. Different colour palettes can be

attributed to different socio-cultural areas and fashions styles. Colour trends are very recognizable and they fuse indelibly to areas,

products and fashions.

The aim of the Chromophilia project is to developing a whole new approach to colour in fashion.

Chromophilia blog is a shared space where the chromo-community can post and comment views on colour senses.

It consists in collecting a complete documentation on the topic exploring different areas (colour in literature, in visual art, in design, etc.)

and different approaches (physical, psychological, economic, social), creating a dialogue with people who are interested in this subject.
