Don't ever underestimate the power of color. I am currently completing my first 2015 jewelry collection and it is totally driven by 4 distinct color stories. Confirmation came after viewing the Spring runway shows. Above is a bohemian chic dress by Etro which echoes my first color group named Desert. Think sand with pops of yellow, soft oranges and greens. I consulted the top ten Pantone color picks for this group. I used lucite green, toasted almond, custard and tangerine....yummy.
Brunello Cucinelli really knows how to do neutrals and Spring 2015 is no exception. I call this color group Dusk because I have added touches of pink to the many shades of grays and other neutrals. Close your eyes and picture your favorite sunset, and you will get the picture... glacier gray, strawberry ice and marsala.
Here Emporio Armani plays with many shades of gorgeous blues with touches of white as a great way to make it all pop. Of course this is the color story I refer to as Ocean, classic blue, scuba blue, and aquamarine with white as a backdrop.
Who would have thought that Ralph Lauren would be so into neon for spring, but see his runway show above and you can believe it. Neon orange, yellow and fuchsia played against a deep rich khaki. In my case I am using neons with a stone called pyrite, also known as fools gold. Can't say that any neon colors made the Pantone top ten list, but, trust me, neon is back brighter than ever!
Stay tuned. In my next blog you will see how this all plays out in the world of jewels.
