For Spring of 2013, I hope to continue seeing pastels. Pastel
colors were all over the runways for Spring 2012 collections which are
currently hitting stores. While shopping the market place a bit here in
New York City, it seems that customers are responding very strongly in a
positive manner to these fun spring colors. In the Spring 2012
collections, pastels were mostly brought to viewers attentions through
color blocking as shown below.

I believe pastels will be brought into the Spring 2013 shows in a
different manner. I think they will most likely make the re-appearance
through patterns. Wheather they be florals or animal prints, I believe
the consumers will welcome these fun color palletes as a change to the
current neon trends and after such a drab winter season. Something more
along these lines is what I see is yet to come for S13. Or patterns made of pastels.

Here are images I have found that have further inspired me to believe pastels are here to stay:
Oh, I love the macaron-colored clothes! They look punchy and modern when colorblocked, and not at all like a wimpy pastel with a black animal print over it.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! You continue to wow me with your selection of California style pictures- it's totally "your thing." I agree with your suggestion of pastel colors for Spring 2013. While I love black just as much- if not more, than the next person, there's something about these pastels colors that just make everything right in the world. It's bad enough that the economy is dragging many people down, but a little color in people's lives will go a long way.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work!!
