These colours have to be studied starting from their roots, so that they evolve from their primal state; by playing with them we can push even the most classic icons to transform, turn into something completely new which might trigger new emotions and work as a new stimulus without giving up any of the purity which is their main feature: the clarity of primaries is their strength and their amazing beauty.</div><div class="spip"><strong class="spip"><br /></strong><strong class="spip"><br /></strong><strong class="spip"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">   COLOR CO-DEPENDENCY   </span></span></span></strong><br /><strong class="spip"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="spip_document_4981 spip_documents spip_documents_center" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="410" src="http://www.sibilintimate.com/IMG/cache-460x295/COLOR-CODEPENDENCY460-460x295.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="640" /></span></div><div class="spip"></div><div class="spip"><br />Black and white can build the co-dependency relationship par excellence: they work together in a way which makes them rely on each other.

For instance, we can think of a charcoal blue and put it near a pale, ivory pink or think of a pastel yellow against some shades of gray: what we create is an unexpectedly romantic atmosphere.

So we wondered how we could make black look more modern and we managed to re-energize it by matching black with pale pink or light blue, generating a new sense of sweetness and sensuality… and even the most aggressive of colors becomes soft and sweet. A timeless champion both in swimwear, activewear and fashion, black will therefore take on a totally new and exciting light.</div><div class="spip"><strong class="spip"><br /></strong><strong class="spip"><br /></strong><strong class="spip"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">   THE NEW CORALS – THE SEA COLORS   </span></span></span></strong><br /><strong class="spip"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="spip_document_4984 spip_documents spip_documents_center" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="420" src="http://www.sibilintimate.com/IMG/cache-460x302/SEA-COLORS460-460x302.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="640" /></span></div><div class="spip"></div><div class="spip"><br />Starting from a thorough research into the underwater life of sea urchins, corals and shells, we have created an incredibly powerful color range.
