Each season, Pantone asks the hottest designers showing during fashion week about their latest colors and inspirations. We've broken them down by color. Be inspired by the season's best colors, from Honeysuckle Pink to Peapod Green.
Above, left-to-right: Honeysuckle Pink as used by Peter Som, whose inspirations include "Miami sun-soaked colors, pop art with a touch of beachside ease;" Nanette Lepore; and Cythia Steffe designer Shaun Kearny.
Above, left to right: Regatta Blue as used by Lela Rose who found inspiration in "the richly woven Peruvian textiles and the Old/New World clash of cultures in Lima, Peru;" Catherine Malandrino; Tommy Hilfiger; and Adrienne Vittadini designer Kristiina Salminen.
Above, left-to-right: Coral Rose as used by Christian Siriano and Rebecca Taylor. "African, Indian and strong Asian influences mixed with measures of elegant opulence – mine is a sophisticated but vibrant woman," says Siriano this season. "The collection is about feeling glamorous in what you wear, whether in its simplicity or opulence, and mixing that with great style."
Above, left-to-right: Beeswax Golden Yellow as used by the lovable Betsey Johnson who will turn out a Spring collection centered around "punk, pretty, picnic!;" Tibi's Amy Smilovic (who we're meeting with later this week to bring you an inside-the-studio look at her upcoming collection); and Yoana Baraschi.
Above: Peapod Green as used by Erin Fetherston. "I had a sense of wanderlust this season, and I wanted my collection to reflect a sense of adventure and travel to faraway places," says the designer of her namesake collection.
