Pantone Fashion Color Report Fall 2011

To follow the Pantone color reports for Spring 2011, here is the Fall 2011. This Pantone Fashion Color Report coincides with the end of New York Fashion Week. This season’s report features the top 10 colors for women’s fashion for fall 2011, along with designer sketches, quotes and it includes the most directional hues for men’s fall 2011 fashion.

“Designers take a painterly approach to fall 2011 by artfully combining bright colors with staple neutrals, reminiscent of how an artist would construct a stunning work of art,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Much like a painter’s masterpiece, there is a certain romance to this season’s palette.”

Taking cues from the great masters, sepia tones of old Hollywood, Chinese opera, cityscapes and countryside, designers are paying close attention to texture, contrast and color for fall 2011 – pairing menswear with feminine twists, warm prints with cool metals, incorporating both old and new influences, and creating an intriguing balance between colors.
