on wednesday, pantone released its fall 2010 colour forecast, inspired, as always, by the corresponding runway shows in new york. apparently the upcoming season’s (although really, it’s not even the end of february yet, so it’s hard to think of fall already!) palette is based on the ideas of practicality and embellishment. so lots of solid neutrals with few lively splashes thrown in for some fantasy.

the colours are accompanied by designers’ interpretations. i was most taken with the golden glow…

lela rose (love the leopard & floral combo!)
