As I’ve said in past posts, I love color – working with it, looking at it, playing with it. So I naturally was delighted to hear that the new report was released and I went directly to it for a look.
In February 2009 at New York Fashion Week, Pantone asked designers “to identify the 10 most directional colors.” The result, for Fall 2009, offers a wide and diverse color palette reminiscent of painter’s masterpieces in the subtlety of the tones presented.
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute® feels that “Designers recognize the desire for fundamental basics that speak to
current economic conditions”. You can view the top ten colors for 2009 here: http://pantone.com/downloads/articles/pdfs/PANTONE_FCR_FALL09.pdf
Typically, “Iron” is the “new black” but whenever is black replaced? The designers surveyed in the report all identified black as the “color” to buy and wear to get through difficult economic times. The timeless, seasonless “little black dress” can be updated with colorful accessories – such as a shining cuff made of sparkling Swarovski crystals http://www.msturman.com/collection/triple%20cuff.htm?
Which of these new colors appeal to you most? How would you accessorize them?
