Here we are, summer has just begun, and the color trends for Fall and Winter have all ready been chosen. Actually, they were chosen in February! Amazing.
For more than 20 years, Pantone has been considered the global authority
on color. Each season, Pantone surveys the designers of New York
Fashion Week and London Fashion Week, to collect feedback on prominent collection
colors, color inspiration and color philosophy. This information is used
to create the Pantone Fashion Color Report, which serves as a reference
tool throughout the year for fashion enthusiasts, reporters and
retailers
.
Laurie Pressman of the Pantone Color Institute, describes Fall's colors as "Autumnal hues that evoke the feeling of leaves on the forest floor,
rich plumage and twilight reveal a modern fall palette of deep and rich
tones with outbursts of colorful surprise."
In total 10 colors are chosen as part of Fall and Winter's color palette. Here are
two color charts to show you what you will be seeing in fashion and decor.
These
charts may also be helpful for you, as a jewelry designer, to know what
gems to choose in your jewelry creations, that will compliment the coming fashions.
