Well the good news is that Summer is just around the corner.... The bad news is that I am half way through completing my Fall 2008 collection!
Pantone Inc has released the PANTONE Fashion Color Report Fall 2008 featuring the top 10 women's fashion colors that we are likely to be wearing later this year.
According to the report, the fall '08 palette is best described as a season of change and is defined by rich, elegant hues that offer a vibrant selection. New York's fashion designers emphasize cooler blues, greens and purples in the top five tones used in their collections, followed by variations of warm red, orange and yellow.
Pantone is the most widely recognized color standard in the world, and is used as a tool for the fashion industry. Every year at New York Fashion Week it surveys designers and collects feedback on the most prominent color collections.
So far I have incorporated the blues, jade, and mustard. I am looking forward to the addtion of shades of red, and I can't wait to see what happens when I add my own interpretation to the colour brown.
Stay tuned!
