One thing that I think is great about Pantone is the meaning they put behind their colors! They bring it full circle to the creativity behind it, which as a creative myself, I find so exciting. Here’s what Pantone has to say about these forecasted colors:
“…colors for Spring/Summer 2022 New York reflect our aspiration for balance as we move through a changing landscape. Colors that evince our need for comfort, clarity, and security satisfy our urge to stay with the familiar. At the same time, free-spirited optimism, and a feeling of new liberation, are unleashed in dynamic, stand-out shades, quenching our desire for spontaneity, uplift, and joy.”
So why is all of this so important to know as a photographer? Well, the fashion industry affects nearly every industry. What we see trending on the runway spreads into numerous things. For example, the colors of cars, home decor such as couches, ready to wear fashion, and so much more. So for me, being up to date on trends helps me know how to guide my clients when it comes to picking out their outfits for their session. It helps brides choose colors and decor that is on trend and exciting. The more you educate yourself in this area, the more you begin to realize the impact it has on the things you see in your day to day life.
