Act as a fashion creative director. Develop a practical framework for collection color architecture for [BRAND/COLLECTION] aimed at [CUSTOMER]. Specify silhouettes, materials, color, styling, commercial constraints and visual direction. Give concrete outputs the designer can use immediately, and avoid generic fashion clichés. Use placeholders such as [BRAND], [PRODUCT], [AUDIENCE], [MARKET] or [DATA] where the user should customize the workflow.

What you get back
A set of design directions, silhouette, proportion and material handling, to react to, not a finished garment specification.
One variation to try
Keep the prompt and change only the fabric weight. Same idea in a heavy melton and a fluid crepe gives you two collections.
Before you use it
Anything you intend to make still needs a flat, a spec and a physical sample. Treat the output as a concept, not a pattern.
