Trend Alert: Yellow For Spring

The biggest trend for spring is YELLOW! And not just any yellow… nice rich yellows like marigold and lemon yellow. Now yellow wasn’t the top color on the Pantone Fashion Color Report for Spring 2009, but it’s definitely the most popular.

Pantone, which provides color standards to design industries, specifically cites mimosa, a vibrant shade of yellow illustrated by the flowers of some mimosa trees as well as the brunch-favorite cocktail, as its top shade of the New Year. In general, Pantone expects the public to embrace many tones of yellow.

“I think it’s just the most wonderful symbolic color of the future,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “It’s invariably connected to warmth, sunshine and cheer — all the good things we’re in dire need of right now.”

In the spring fashion collections previewed in the fall, pops of yellow brightened the runways of Carolina Herrera — who called her favorite shade marigold — Badgley Mischka, Zac Posen and Michael Kors, among others. Kors even had a retro yellow polka-dot bikini that hearkened back to a more upbeat time.
