New York Fashion week is in full swing, and although there are plenty of shows (and several other cities) remaining, a few key color palettes are becoming rather evident. If you actually look back at the Resort 2015 color stories, you’ll find that Spring colors have not drastically changed from the previous season. Blue and yellow are both quite strong on their own, if not a bit softer this time around. Orange is quite the pop color, which you’ll find in shades from peach to rust. Although they didn’t make it into this particular color roundup, it’s worth mentioning that pastels were represented in large numbers (especially baby blue), as well as high-contrast prints in black and white.

It was a little hard to edit this week’s color story only because it’s such a popular combination right now. Florescent yellow is seeing it’s moment in the spotlight, and various shades of silvery grey have become the perfect companion.. kind of the yin and yang of colors, in a way. It’s certainly a fun and energetic color combo, and it gives me a synthetic or futuristic vibe… like the colors of an industrial uniform in space. Or, come to think of it, the colors of my wedding dress.
