About Shades and Seasons

shadesandseasons is a specialist website for readers in Europe who follow the commercial and creative cycles of the beauty industry. It covers the season and the show calendar, reporting on what is arriving rather than how to use it. The site provides news and reference on beauty trends, organised into sections including Seasons, Fashion weeks, Trends, Colour, Industry, News, Fragrance, Categories, Artists and salons, and Charts and retail.

All news stories on shadesandseasons are produced from factual, publicly available sources. Each story is rewritten from named and linked primary sources, such as official brand announcements or show reports. These reports are checked against each other for consistency, and every published article carries a clear date of publication. No information, data, or quotations are invented by the site.

The site builds permanent reference pages from its ongoing coverage. These include entries on each Season, Trend, and Fashion week, as well as pages for brands, artists, fragrances, and retail. Each reference page presents a table of key facts, several sections of explanatory text, and at least one real photograph, credited to its source. These pages are revised and updated when the industry coverage of that subject meaningfully changes.

shadesandseasons is editorially independent and is not affiliated with any brand, event, or organisation it reports on. The site does not publish any betting or gambling-related content. Any corrections that need to be made to published material are carried out transparently and are listed on a dedicated corrections page at shadesandseasons.com/corrections/.

For any enquiries, readers can use the contact form at shadesandseasons.com/contact/. The site aims to be a plain, reliable, and useful reference point for tracking the beauty industry’s calendar and its evolving trends.
