I am always drawn to saturated, rich tones that excite the eye, and spring 2014
is no exception. In addition to the rich tones, I have added in softer tones like
Dusted Pink and Ice Blue, which help give balance to the bolder tones.
SIGNATURE COLOR
Ice Blue splashes throughout the collection in a new and fresh way. It peeks out
of a double face trench cape, creates a pop on prints, and colorfully blocks a fil
coupe dress. The icy cold tone of this color brings a new cool for springtime.

A modernist print trouser leg pant with a Beige-colored pleated back trench is a
favorite look. The multi-colored pant is blocked with the print and the trench takes
you to any event day or night.
I have always loved Cool Citrine and like to dress myself, my daughter and my
home in it. It is too bold to be used in big spaces and is best used as an accent.

The inspiration was a 1930s archeological dig in Mesopotamia. The palette is

composed of warm neutrals (that evoke the feeling of earth and sand) juxtaposed
with bright, saturated colors like Tangerine and Indigo, the types of bright colors
one might imagine to have been originally painted on the Assyrian sculptures
found on those digs, before time weathered the pigments away.
SIGNATURE COLOR
Tangerine. Its such a fresh color that it livens up the whole collection,
and gives it real vibrancy.

The brushed twill safari jacket with leopard jacquard inserts in Moroccan Indigo

HOW DO FASHION COLORS INFLUENCE YOUR HOME DCOR AND INTERIOR

PAINT COLOR CHOICES?
Its not necessarily about choosing the right fashion color. Its more about
choosing colors that work together, which is what you have to consider in your
home as well. When I was designing my home, I chose a palette of Blue, Beige
and Chestnut because I liked the way that they looked together, and I knew they
wouldnt go out of style.
IF YOU COULD MAKEOVER A ROOM OR KEY PIECE OF FURNITURE

IN YOUR HOME, WHICH FASHION COLOR WOULD YOU USE AND WHERE?
If I could makeover a room, it would be one of my kids rooms. They are

growing and developing so quickly that it would make sense to redesign. As for
the colors, right now they love Yellow and Blue. One of the most efficient ways
to incorporate color is in the accessories. For a subtle change, Id go for colorful
pillows or a lamp, and for a larger effect Id change a rug or a painting.

HOW DO FASHION COLORS INFLUENCE YOUR HOME DCOR

AND INTERIOR PAINT COLOR CHOICES?
Fashion colors inspire me in every aspect of my life. In my home, I tend to keep

things neutral with pops of bright colors. Right now I love bright shades of Blue
into deeper shades of Midnight; it feels fresh to mix several shades of one hue
and right now BLUE is it!
Stylist

Well, I am a classic New Yorker at heart and I usually stick to a pretty
neutral palette in my wardrobe of Black, White and Gray with the
occasional pop of a bright color in a top, jacket, jean or accessory. This
definitely carries over into the way that my husband and I have chosen
to decorate our home. We stick to a neutral palette although for the
home, I opt for warmer neutral tones such as Creams, Beige, Taupe, even
a Dove Gray or Chocolate Brown. I feel as though ones home should
always be done in warmer shades to give it a cozier feel. Then we have
little pops of contrast with a chosen color.
In our bedroom we have gone with White and Chocolate Brown with some
chrome accents and then brilliant pops of Bright Pink. I chose Bright Pink
because of an Alexander McQueen clutch bag I fell in love with it was a
Hot Pink and Black patent Union Jack design with the chrome skull clasp.
I couldnt stop thinking about this bag and when my husband and I were
trying to decide on bedside tables we used the clutch as inspiration. So
we spent days painting side tables in Neon Pink, Black and White Union
Jacks. These side tables set the tone for the room and from there we
accented the room with little pops of Pink throughout. The great thing is
to work tonally as shades of a given color vary from season to season. So
the Neon Pink from a few years ago might not match perfectly with what I
might add to the room today, but having chosen Bright Pink I can decorate
within that color way and it creates more depth and character to the room.

IN YOUR HOME, WHICH FASHION COLOR WOULD YOU USE
AND WHERE?
In our bedroom we have a White Le Corbusier chaise lounge, and I
have been dying to have it covered in a Bright Pink. Vivacious, from the
PANTONE Fashion Color Report Fall 2013, is exactly the shade of fabric
I am looking for and would pull the room together perfectly. Perhaps well
cover some throw cushions for the bed in the same fabric as well!

I would love to redo my living room and mix shades of Blue. Maybe a rich
Midnight Blue for my dream L-shaped sofa with some patterned throw pillows,
mixing prints and brighter shades of Blue. I think it would be fun to paint the
entire room a Dark Blue, feels clubby and homey. Getting excited just thinking
about my imaginary Blue room.

I love, love, love Deep Periwinkle as a fashion color that translates
beautifully to interiors, especially a bedroom. It brings a bit of calm but
with just the right amount of a warm red-purplish undertone to add a bit
of excitement. Its the happiest of the Blue family.

AND WHERE?
The walls are already Deep Periwinkle, but I plan on doing a cabinet and/
or an end table in that same color.

Today, the world of color integrates the influences of art, fashion

and dcor. For me, it is really about fusion and individuality.

Years back, I stripped six of my Louis XV caned chairs and had them entirely
Silver foiled. Then, I replaced the Ivory jacquard upholstery with six bright
colors in moir silk three la Lacroix (in Red, Shocking Pink and Orange)
and the other three la Saint Laurent (in Purple, Turquoise and Green). The
effect at the time was unexpected, quite whimsical and still relevant today.

As a jewelry designer who loves to work with brightly colored gemstones,

color plays an integral part in my interior design style. Trends in fashion
often infiltrate interior design, and thats especially true with color. Paint
is such a great way to bring unexpected beauty and color into a room,
whether through an accent wall or a beautifully painted piece of furniture.
While Ive always been a fan of paint, Im currently also loving wallpaper in
fun, geometric prints and unbelievable colors. Both can create high impact
in a room. In the same way that jewelry can take a t-shirt and jeans from
drab to fab, paint has the power to completely transform a room and give
it a whole new emotion in the way that only color can. If youre lacking in
art or wall dcor, paint or wallpaper can also be a great way to completely
change the look and feel of a room at an affordable cost.
One hot trend in interior design is homes with floor plans that are more
open, allowing the rooms and spaces to flow together. Painting one of
the rooms or even a single wall is a great way to give a room a dramatic,
stand-alone appearance even when everything else is open around it.
I recently moved into a new space with a very open floor plan and I painted
my dining room a gorgeous, Greenish-Gray, much like PANTONE Deep
Lichen Green. It really helps to add drama to my overall space and allows
the dining room to feel like a separate, more intimate area.

AND WHERE?
I currently love bamboo Chippendale chairs. They are so easy to paint and
are a great way to add an unexpected pop of color and a bit of whimsy
into your home or office. Since Chippendale chairs were really popular in
the 1950s and 1960s, you can purchase them at an antique store, but you
can also buy them new at many interior dcor stores. In my new space,
I painted one in a crisp, White lacquer finish for my living room, but Id love
it in a bold Fuchsia color or a stunning Cobalt hue. Thats the great thing
about paint whether painting a piece of furniture or your walls, youre
never making a big commitment. Even if you only keep it that color for six
months repainting is affordable and easy. If youre ready for a change in
your home, dont be afraid to start with something small like repainting a
piece of furniture or the insets of your kitchen cabinets. Its totally easy,
inexpensive and you can always change it back if you get tired of it or
dont like it.

AND WHERE?
If I could makeover a room in my home, I would cover one focal wall in
the living room with de Gournay wallpaper. They do the most beautiful
Chinoiserie designs with birds and flowers, in calming shades of Pale
Green and Blue, with cheerful pops of Pink and Yellow. Timeless,
mood enhancing and on-trend at the same time. A paint color, on the
surrounding walls, in a Pale Gray with a hint of Lilac would complement
this wallpaper perfectly.

PANTONE is the professional color toolkit for designers, and Im excited to

bring PANTONE Colors into my home. I select paint colors based on how
I want to feel. When I start my day, I want to feel like the sun is coming up
even when its still dark outside.

AND WHERE?
Waking up to PANTONE Pear Sorbet or PANTONE Ambrosia would be

refreshing in the bath. PANTONE String is a beautiful Warm Gray for my
bedroom to help me relax and wind down after a hectic day. Lively dinner
conversation helps me feel connected and it flows more easily with a bold
fashion color like Turkish Tile in the dining room. Painting with PANTONE
transforms the feel of any room or the look of a favorite piece of furniture
without investing too much time or money. Choosing the right color can
be the hardest part of the project, but with the new PANTONE UNIVERSE
Paint offering at Lowes and sites like Pinterest, you see what others are
doing with color and find limitless resources for fashion and home dcor
inspiration. Lowes sample program even lets you try a new PANTONE
Paint color on your wall before you commit!

I am a fashion addict, and I often choose colors from the PANTONE
Fashion Color Report when I do my walls rather than going to the normal
paint store for colors.

AND WHERE?
I would use Moonbeam for my walls to get an Art Deco feeling and an
Amethyst Orchid for my sofa to brighten and power-up the room!

With the exception of some metallic wallpaper in my closet, the majority
of the rooms in my home are painted White. What can I say, Im an artist
and I like a blank canvas. I am constantly adding new prints and switching
in accents with bright patterns. Youll see a lot of small color pops, such
as Bright Peach in each room against Rich Gray upholstery. If I want the
option to add Deep Green palm-printed curtains to the mix, the minimal
White walls help me to have free reign over my bold dcor choices.

AND WHERE?
I am about to redesign my dining room and plan to use a fun Black and
White printed wallpaper to play off of the rough lines in my barnwood
table. Ill be adding a masculine Black and Gold chandelier to the mix and
the final touch will be piles upon piles of colorful, hand-painted dishware
that will act as the colorful accents I can change seasonally.

Mood Fabrics

I usually turn to fashion colors to inspire the direction I take with accent
pieces, such as pillows, window treatments and decorative items, or
anything that is easily updated or changed out. I get color-obsessed
with the fashion trends I see on the runways and on the streets. When it
comes to bringing fashion color into the home, though, Im a practical girl.
For example, I may fall in love with the neon brights in a collection, but
I wouldnt go so far as to upholster a couch in a neon color. My advice is
to bring home the colors you love in fashion, but in manageable doses
that you can affordably change out when you fall in love with another
fashion color.

AND WHERE?
I am obsessed with all shades of Orange. Im redoing my bedroom right

now bedding, window treatments and rugs and its going to be filled
with colors like Tangerine, Coral Rose and Red Orange, with some touches
of Fuchsia Purple thrown in. Orange is one of those colors in both fashion
and home dcor that appeals to everyone and its gender-neutral. At Mood
Fabrics we see just as many men choosing fabrics with Orange as we
do women.

I have always noticed the kitchens that brighten my spirits the most are
painted Yellow. It seems that Yellow is a color of spring and sun, a warm
message when preparing food for friends and family. Its also a social color,
which invites a gathering in one of the most important rooms in the home
(aside from the bedroom). Although there are many shades of Yellow to play
with from Acid Yellow to Sunflower Yellow my personal pick is a less
harsh one, preferably a light Egg Yolk vibe, signifying birth and fresh life.

PALETTE

SPRING 2014:
A CONFIDENT
AND VERSATILE
PALETTE
Light and airy Placid Blue is a perfect
background color for spring, offering another
alternative to the classic neutrals. Pair it with
Comfrey, a more masculine take on the softer
Hemlock green from the womens palette, to
create a fresh, seasonally inspired look. For a
modernized vintage feel, pair Purple Haze,
a deeper, stronger version of Violet Tulip, with
Paloma, a confident and adaptable gray.
Sand, a warm, agreeable neutral, can be
coupled with more daring colors in the palette
making them less intimidating. Both Paloma
and Sand are perfect complements to fiery
Cayenne red, and help to harness the powerful
energy that intense Freesia yellow brings to
the spectrum. Accessories, including shoes, in
bold colors, like Cayenne, Freesia and Celosia
Orange, are becoming more popular for men
this season, adding a touch of gusto to neutral
formal attire.
As the temperatures rise, we are also seeing a
lot of vibrant patterning that combines bold and
tropical colors in many sectors of menswear.
Create a magnetic look by mixing Magenta
Purple, a more robust version of Radiant
Orchid, with the higher voltage colors in the
palette, like Celosia Orange and Dazzling
Blue. These three energetic yet versatile hues
are sure to be a hit in spring 2014.

PROMINENT COLORS
White, Navy and Black form the key background colors to the collection with
accent colors of Scarlet Red.
INSPIRATION
PANTONE 18-3949
Dazzling Blue
Our collaborative collection for spring 2014 has drawn inspiration from Japans
most respected tattoo artist Horiyoshi III, and his symbolic figure, animal and floral
motifs. I had the idea to bring together these two worlds in a tailoring context. We
have realized some of these designs in jacquard patterns, and others have been
printed onto suit and jacket linings and on accompanying accessories.
SIGNATURE COLOR
Id say Midnight Blue and Scarlet.

Definitely the reversible bomber. Its a contemporary tailored bomber style jacket
featuring a wonderful degrade bat pattern, ribbed round collar, waistband and cuff,
and reversible zip front and diagonal jet pockets.
Probably the Off White we used in the bespoke piece within the collection, which
we created especially for Tilda Swinton to wear to launch the collection. Its such a
sophisticated luxurious color.
