I have had two jobs involved with the fashion industry and that taught the importance of the colors which dominate each season. As an aside, my first exposure to this phenomenom came when my high school sweetie introduced me to teal as THE color of that particular season.
Designers Dive into Color for Spring 2008
The report features the top 10 colors for women's fashion for spring '08, designer sketches, quotes and headshots. The availability of the PANTONE Fashion Color Report coincides with the beginning of New York Fashion Week and is available free-of-charge from the Pantone Website at:www.pantone.com/spring2008
According to the report, the spring '08 palette is defined by classic, versatile neutrals punctuated by splashes of invigorating brights, empowering consumers to explore new and creative ways to combine colors.
Variations on popular colors such as energizing red, cool, waterborne blue and eco-friendly green also play a key role this season.
"The spring '08 color palette perfectly reflects the cheerfulness of the season," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. "Stabilizing neutrals combined with pops of brighter colors to create unique, distinctive looks are the basis for a great spring and summer wardrobe."
