TOP TEN FASHION COLOURS Jye Luxury Collection
FOR SPRING 2014 In this issue of CIJ Trends & Colours, our annual trends guide, we again present the top ten fashion colours for Spring 2014 as forecast by Pantone in its Fashion Color Report Spring 2014. Calling it “a season of colourful equilibrium,” the report continues that “designers take a modern twist on the traditional by pairing soft pastels with vivid brights... Inspired by a mixture of blooming flowers, travels abroad, and strong, confident women, designers use colour to refresh, revive and defy conventional wisdom. “This season, consumers are looking for a state of thoughtful, emotional and artistic equilibrium. While this need for stability is reflected in the composition of the palette, the inherent versatility of the individual colours allows for experimentation with new looks and colour combinations,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute®. These fashion colours are also brought to life by a variety of jewellery designers as seen on the following pages.
