TEXTILE TRENDS
Electric Avenue
Fuchsia can be a polarizing color if only because no one can ever remember how to spell it. But these electric fuchsias beckon to be tried by all due to their ability to inject electric energy into whatever you’re wearing. It’s all but guaranteed to shock your mood back to the positive spectrum should it dip.
Frozen in Amber
Amber has the ability to fossilize ancient life forms (remember “Jurassic Park”?), and in the coming seasons you’ll see it crystallize fashion as well. These warm honey shades speak of positivity and remind us that amber has been used for millennia in oils, perfumes and incense to raise our spirits.
Celestial Aura
Blue is the color of heaven, whether on a sunlit day or in the dark indigo of night. As a result, it’s always a soothing color capable of conveying stability, as in a navy blazer, or more-dynamic feelings. These blues are as happy as a perennial summer sky but are often adorned with modern motifs.
