German term or phrase: ohne Muster
Context: Die Kollektion für Herbst/Winter 15-16 kommt fast gänzlich ohne Muster aus.

Could it be patternless?

without prints
Explanation:
This should be presented as a solution rather than an explanation. Ramey's comment that there's no negativity in US ads strike me as 'nicht nachvollziehbar.' Moreover, 'ohne Muster' doesn't even reach the level of negative advertising.

"So if the big guns are naming names, should your own company call out competitors and their products in your advertising? Maybe so. Similar disruptive advertising has become standard in the hotly competitive market for cellphone subscribers. Car insurance company ads also mention competitors, directly or indirectly, as do ads from car makers themselves."

Grading comment
After reading some of the reviews of this particular collection, all of which talked about what WASN'T there (almost no prints), this seemed the most appropriate. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

agree  philgoddard: This is a good idea, assuming it's marketing copy and not a factual document.

mostly features an abundance of solid colors


Explanation:
or:
mostly dominated by solid colors
almost entirely does away with patterns
snubs patterns almost entirely
exhibits a near dearth of patterns

Autumn in contemporary usage has assumed a somewhat poetic connotation, like when speaking of "autumn leaves" / "in the autumn of our years" etc

replete/lavish sounds a bit too exuberant when describing something staid or austere like solid colors
