As we move into the 2016 spring/summer season, there is a distinctive shift to the softer side. In seeking a balance to the aggressive, fast-paced, and often harsh world we live in, the fashions of this season have taken a gentler, more feminine turn. The colors and trends are wrought with inspiration from mother earth, bringing grounding and nurturing energy to this season’s designs.
The Palette
From ethereal, light and calming pastels to bold pops of color and invigorating splashes of retro-inspired shades, the palette of the 2016 spring/summer season evokes peaceful reflection, followed by bursts of playfulness. The duality of the two Pantone® colors of the year, Rose Quartz and Serenity, highlights the overarching theme of the season, which is calming, nurturing, and filled with a quiet stability and curiosity.
