Pantone announces 175 New Colors as permanent additions to their Fashion & Home system! No color family was missed on this range extension -- Pinks, Reds, Oranges, Yellows, Greens, Browns, Grays and even Whites have been added. So don’t miss out and be caught without your new colors! We have all the new color supplements for your existing books (of course it could be a good time for a fresh one too) plus the new color Swatch Cards in stock.

That’s not all -- for your color junkies, Pantone also recently introduced 21 Nylon Brights to their Fashion & Home system. Playful and energetic, these neon vibrant shades are ideal on their own or can be mixed together with traditional neutrals to give you that extra “pop.”

For your SS13 planning...

David Wolfe recently presented Spring 2012 RTW - New York/London/Milan/Paris and broke down the trends from the runway.  The roaring ’20s are back in full-force with the dropped waist as a key silhouette next season. For color direction, David is seeing a continuation of bright and bold hues as the more forward designers are gravitating toward pretty pastels and softer hues as a reflection of the ageless ladylike trend. White made a strong statement in many appearances down the runway.
