Pantone
recently released its top 10 colors of spring fashion,
colors the company says are "splashes of
sunshine" and "vibrant brights."
To be
honest, the colors feel very Reagan/early Madonna era to
me, very 1984, with a bright turquoise, pink champagne,
mustard yellow and pinky coral (the color of
Michelle Obama's
suit during the President's recent address) among the
colors.
They're
wonderful bright colors that are happy and fun. And with
any luck will inspire shoppers to start spending again,
at lease in small doses.
"Now
more than ever, women are vigilant when it comes to
spending," said
Leatrice Eiseman
, executive director of the
Pantone Color Institute
. "Instead of re-inventing their wardrobe at the
start of each season, consumers want pieces to
complement what they already own. Pairing a bold color
with a basic piece or freshening up their look with
bright accents addresses the need for practicality, as
well as fun."
I'm
particularly taken with the spin on the classic red,
tomato puree. It's almost a raspberry red that's rich
and lovely with just the right dose of pink. I also love
the violet color, which just makes me happy (apparently
it's one that
Lela Rose
is using for spring.
Love Lela Rose
.).
