Fashion designers are looking to the beauty of the past and spirit of the present for their colour choices for this fall’s runway fashions, says Pantone Color Institute.
“This is a season of nontypical colours—more reflective of the imagination and ingenuity, which makes for an artful collection of colours and combinations not bound by the usual hues for fall,” says Pantone executive director Leatrice Eiseman.
“There is a feminine mystique that is reflected throughout the palette, inspired by the increasing need for women everywhere to create an individual imprint.”
According to Pantone, fashionistas will be hot on the trail of jewellery to accessorize hues like Royal Blue, a more vibrant take on traditional navy, and Sangria, an exotic red evoking a sense of faraway destinations.
