Color Me Enchanting | Fall Fashion Colors to Enchant
Posted on August 11 2016
Synesthesia: the ability to hear, feel, smell, and taste color. But what about speaking it? Pantone, the world-renowned authority in color, speaks it. They decide not only the colors of the year, but also those of the season, and their say-so influences the fashion industry all the way from the runway to the fitting room. In anticipation of this upcoming season, Pantone released a fall spectrum that embraces tranquility, strength, and optimism, while also transcending gender. For a sneak peak into our fall look book, browse our color mood board for fall fashion below!
