Get Your Wardrobe & Walls Ready for Fall 2007!
Right now, it's all about color. The leaves are starting to turn, models are strutting new hues on the runways, and the world of interior design is churning out all kinds of shades of awesome!
According to one of my fave blogs, ApartmentTherapy.com/NY, September is Adornment Month! That means it's time to pay a little extra attention to your digs and fill it with beautiful, inspiring colors and accents you'll enjoy all winter long. It's also a great time to get started building your cool-weather wardrobe.
The worlds of fashion and home decor have long been intertwined, and that's as true today as it has ever been. So if you need some inspiration to get started building your fall wardrobe and decor, you can look to the Fall 2007 Pantone Fashion Color Report.
I just love these luscious new colors. There's something decidedly exotic about this palette, with alluring hues like Burnt Ochre, Chili Pepper and Lemon Curry. If you're decorating with art this season, you can easily find titles of all stripes, sizes and styles in our color collection. There are a lot of direct corollaries between our colors and Pantone's. Our Hollyhock, Tarragon, Espresso, Terra Cotta, Bijou Red and Yellow Ochre nicely mirror the new Purple Wine, Shale Green, Carafe, Burnt Ochre, Chili Pepper and Lemon Curry, respectively.
My current fave? This week, it'd have to be Purple Wine/ Hollyhock. There's something deep, rich and mysterious about this color, like a fine vintage wine. But it's also light, fresh, uplifting; perhaps not quite what you'd expect for fall. A bit of a paradox in its own right! That's why I love it.
Here's a stunning work of art from our Hollyhock collection:
