Living Coral


Recently, Pantone has announced the 2019 Colour of the Year. This selection by Pantone sets in motion the colour trends for the entire year, influencing marketing campaigns, interior design, and clothing. In 2016, two colours were chosen; Serenity Blue and Rose Quartz, which are still impacting trends years later. In 2017, the chosen colour was Greenery, and for 2018-- Ultra Violet. Each colour is chosen with a purpose, to set a positive mindset going into the next year. The colour for the upcoming year was chosen to encourage affirmation, comfort, and playfulness. That being said, the 2019 Pantone Colour of the Year is “Living Coral”. Consumers can expect to see the coral hue popping up in fashion across the world. The colour is subtle yet can be worn as a bold pop, and looks stunning on every skin tone. Incorporating coral into everyday life is fairly simple; it can be paired with pastels, ocean hues, or dark shades to bring some interest into an outfit or home. Adding some throw pillows and a framed photo in shades of coral can liven up an interior, and finishing furniture in this vivid tone gives any space a unique feel. Throwing on some lipstick, funky bracelets, or a fun bag in Living Coral adds light and happiness into a look. The Colour of the Year is sure to brighten anyone’s day, and bring positive vibes into the new year.

Androgyny in LA Street Style

Street style in Los Angeles is all about looking both put together, and effortless. The average person walking the streets of LA appears as though they could be going to any event; ready to take on anything at a moment’s notice. Every aspect of a look is entirely thought out, from the slight slouch in a jacket to each hair upon an individual’s head. Not a single part of the look goes without thought. There is a perfect balance always achieved in the outfit; both in colour and size. Every look is made to stand out, unique and quirky pieces defining the look, but somehow seems to fit in at every setting. Whether a person is attending a fashion show, or heading out for pizza, they manage to look as though they belong.  Despite the uniqueness the people of LA seem to strive for, both men and women often seem to dress somewhat alike. The lines between male and female fashion are often blurred, and the androgynous look is more prevalent than ever.   Fashion gender norms are being broken

Transitioning into Fall – It’s easier than you think!

The transition from summer to fall is arguably the most beautiful time of year. The leaves begin changing colours, embers crackle in fire places, and the temperature finally begins to decrease.

The Impact of Politics on Fashion

While the worlds of politics and fashion may seem light years apart, in reality they are much more related than they initially appear. Some connections between fashion and politics are more obvious. For example, new tariffs being imposed on goods imported from other countries, such as China and Thailand, make it more difficult to create inexpensive clothing from outsourced manufacturers. This, in turn, is killing fast fashion as well as many big box companies. Even smaller startup companies are suffering as fabric prices and manufacturing costs continue to increase. However, politics impacts fashion and trends in ways that few have noticed. Trends in the fashion industry often mimic trends from eras that had similar political climates. Today, it seems as though civil and human rights movements are more prevalent than ever, reflecting the zeitgeist of the 1960s.   Modern trends, such as high waisted bottoms, cropped pants, and miniskirts, were also very popular fifty years ago.
