COLOR REPORT A/W 18/19 Emily Whelan Professor Miller FASH 419

letter from the editor Color is life. It’s subtle and gentle like the soft cream of the clouds or bold, and vivacious like the lights of Times Square.

In this color report, I celebrate the diversity of color and all of its magnificent hues and shades. To me, colors are like people. Different, even by the slightest hue, but still, nonetheless, a color. So in this report, I focus on humanity; bodies ad skin.

Let us admire the colors of our neighbors and friends. They are all beautiful. Color is life, people are life.

2017 is the year for the people. Together we tackle overbearing hate with love and acceptance. Together, we learn to appreciate each other.

hype Hype is about bright colors. It’s about not being afraid to be flamboyant and extremely vibrant.

The runway and streetstyle silhouettes are playful and oversized. The colors are vivid ranging from electric blue titled “sky” to a classic mauve purple named “lavender”.

Be bold. Believe the hype.

RICH Rich is exactly as it sounds. Think buttery, deep and soft colors. These jewel tones are named after precious stones found in the most classy of jewelry, like jade and turquoise.

The streetstyle varies from dressier floor length dresses in brilliant red to a more casual approach with a Vetement sweatsuit.

Rich is about approaching your classy side.

milky Sweet pastels come together in ‘milky’. They are subtle and comforting with shades like “cream” and “pistachio”.

Innocence and youth are highlighted in ‘milky’. Feminine silhouettes dominate the catwalk with gorgeously clingy silk dresses and oversized patchwork fur coats.

Be taken back to your care-free childhood with ‘milky’.
