Pantones Take on Hair Hues November 28, 2018 10:04
Pantone Hair Hues
If there was ever a season to experiment with bold hair colour, it's spring/summer 2019. Josh Wood dyed models' hair a range of pastel hues at Marc Jacobs, choosing shades to match the clothes and eye make-up for a truly tonal look. Meanwhile there were ombré rainbow styles at Vivienne Westwood, Pepto Bismol pink at Matty Bovan and troll-inspired shades at Ashley Williams, whilst model Mariacarla Boscono showed off her own colour transformation, opting for a new rose-gold dye job. The one colour that stood out in particular? Think pink.
Each season the team at the Pantone Color Institute creates the Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report; a colour overview highlighting the top colours fashion designers showing at Fashion Week around the world will be featuring in their collections for the upcoming season.
With colour on the catwalk a key indicator of the colour stories we can expect to see showing up across all areas of design....including hair, the Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report is your easily accessible guide to the season’s most important colour trends.
Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report Spring/Summer 2019...as they see it! "Spring/Summer 2019 reflects our desire to embolden ourselves as we face the future; turning to colours and colour stories that provide confidence and lift our spirits; embracing a colour and design direction filled with creative and unexpected combinations.
This new mindset underscores a desire for a joyful juxtaposition of colour that transcends seasonality and joins together high fashion and street style.
Dynamic and vibrant without being overpowering, highlighted shades for both men’s and women’s fashion illustrate our desire for authentic colour expression and at the same time a continuing need for relatable, accessible design"
