The color gods have spoken and just announced on December 9, 2010 that the color of the year for all things in the fashion and home industry will be "Honeysuckle." The Pantone Color Institute, which is the largest influence in selecting color trends for fashion, just released a statement advising that "honeysuckle" has been chosen for next year's go-to color.
It comes as no surprise to those in the fashion industry that this color would be the 2011 color of the year. This reddish-pink shade trickled all throughout New York's Fashion Week for designer's Spring 2011 collections and most notably made sporadic appearances in Badgley Mischka's Spring 2011 collection.
Pantone's executive director, Leatrice Eiseman, explains that the honeysuckle color was chosen to denote energy and the essence of hope. The vibrance of this color is to not just affect the wearer of the honeysuckle color, but to the public as a whole. High-fashion designer, James Mischka for the Badgley Mishcka line also adds that the reddish-pink shade can fashionably be worn all year long, however it does not pair well with black.
Be ready for 2011 by incorporating honeysuckle accessories, scarves and blouses into your wardrobe. Even after 2011 passes, this color is excellent for spring and summer when paired with white.
