HOW DO FASHION COLORS INFLUENCE YOUR HOME DÉCOR AND INTERIOR PAINT COLOR CHOICES? It’s not necessarily about choosing the “right” fashion color. It’s 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 wouldn’t 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 efcient ways to incorporate color is in the accessories. For a subtle change, I’d go for colorful pillows or a lamp, and for a larger effect I’d change a rug or a painting.

HOW DO FASHION COLORS INFLUENCE YOUR HOME DÉCOR 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!
IF YOU COULD MAKEOVER A ROOM OR KEY PIECE OF FURNITURE IN YOUR HOME, WHICH FASHION COLOR WOULD YOU USE AND WHERE? 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.”

HOW DO FASHION COLORS INFLUENCE YOUR HOME DÉCOR AND INTERIOR PAINT COLOR CHOICES? 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 denitely 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 one’s 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 couldn’t 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.
IF YOU COULD MAKEOVER A ROOM OR KEY PIECE OF FURNITURE 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 we’ll cover some throw cushions for the bed in the same fabric as well!

HOW DO FASHION COLORS INFLUENCE YOUR HOME DÉCOR AND INTERIOR PAINT COLOR CHOICES?
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. It’s the “happiest” of the Blue family.
As a jewelry designer who loves to work with brightly colored gemstones,

While I’ve always been a fan of paint, I’m 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

HOW DO FASHION COLORS INFLUENCE YOUR HOME DÉCOR AND INTERIOR PAINT COLOR CHOICES? Today, the world of color integrates the inuences of art, fashion and décor. For me, it is really about fusion and individuality.
IF YOU COULD MAKEOVER A ROOM OR KEY PIECE OF FURNITURE IN YOUR HOME, WHICH FASHION COLOR WOULD YOU USE AND WHERE? Years back, I stripped six o f my Louis XV caned chairs and had them entirely Silver foiled. Then, I replaced the Ivory jacquard upholstery with six bright colors in moiré silk – three à la “Lacroix” (in Red, Shocking Pink and Orange) and the other three à la “Saint Laurent” (in Purple, Turquoise and Green). The effect at the time was unexpected, quite whimsical and still relevant today.
One hot trend in interior design is homes with oor plans that are more open, allowing the rooms and spaces to ow 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 oor 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.
IF YOU COULD MAKEOVER A ROOM OR KEY PIECE OF FURNITURE IN YOUR HOME, WHICH FASHION COLOR WOULD YOU USE 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 ofce. 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 décor stores. In my new space, I painted one in a crisp, White lacquer nish for my living room, but I’d love it in a bold Fuchsia color or a stunning Cobalt hue. That’s the great thing
about paint – whether painting a piece of furniture or your walls, you’re never making a big commitment. Even if you only keep it that color for six months – repainting i s affordable and easy. If you’re ready for a change in your home, don’t be afraid to start with something small like repainting a piece of furniture or the insets of your kitchen cabinets. It’s totally easy, inexpensive and you can always change it back if you get tired of it or don’t like it.

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 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 owers, 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.

HOW DO FASHION COLORS INFLUENCE YOUR HOME DÉCOR AND INTERIOR PAINT COLOR CHOICES? 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.
IF YOU COULD MAKEOVER A ROOM OR KEY PIECE OF F URNITURE IN YOUR HOME, WHICH FASHION COLOR WOULD YOU USE 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!
HOW DO FASHION COLORS INFLUENCE YOUR HOME DÉCOR AND INTERIOR PAINT COLOR CHOICES? PANTONE is the professional color toolkit for designers, and I’m 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 it’s still dark outside.
IF YOU COULD MAKEOVER A ROOM OR KEY PIECE OF FURNITURE IN YOUR HOME, WHICH FASHION COLOR WOULD YOU USE 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 h ectic day. Lively dinner
conversation helps me feel connected and it ows 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 Lowe’s and sites like Pinterest, you see what others are doing with color and nd limitless resources for fashion and home décor inspiration. Lowe’s sample program even lets you try a new PANTONE Paint color on your wall before you commit!

HOW DO FASHION COLORS INFLUENCE YOUR HOME DÉCOR AND INTERIOR PAINT COLOR CHOICES?
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, I’m an artist
pieces, such as pillows, window treatments and decorative items, or
and I like a blank canvas. I am constantly adding new prints and switching
in accents with bright patterns. You’ll 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 décor choices.
IF YOU COULD MAKEOVER A ROOM OR KEY PIECE OF F URNITURE IN YOUR HOME, WHICH FASHION COLOR WOULD YOU USE 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. I’ll be adding a masculine Black and Gold chandelier to the mix and the nal touch will be piles upon piles of colorful, hand-painted dishware that will act as th e colorful accents I can change seasonally.

HOW DO FASHION COLORS INFLUENCE YOUR HOME DÉCOR AND INTERIOR PAINT COLOR CHOICES? I have always noticed the kitchens that brighten my spirits the most are
painted Yellow. It seems that Yellow is a color o f spring and su n, a warm message when preparing food for friends and family. It’s 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 Sunower Yellow – my personal pick is a less harsh one, preferably a light Egg Yolk vibe, signifying birth and fresh life.
I usually turn to fashion colors to inspire the direction I take with accent 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, I’m a practical girl. For example, I may fall in love with the neon brights in a collection, but I wouldn’t 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.
IF YOU COULD MAKEOVER A ROOM OR KEY PIECE OF F URNITURE IN YOUR HOME, WHICH FASHION COLOR WOULD YOU USE AND WHERE? I am obsessed with all shades of Orange. I’m redoing my bedroom right
now – bedding, window treatments and rugs – and it’s going to be lled 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 décor that appeals to everyone and it’s gender-neutral. At Mood Fabrics we see just as many men choosing fabrics with Orange as we do women.
SPRING 2014: A CONFIDENT AND VERSATILE PALETTE
I I I I H S O Y I R O H & T S E R E V E Y H T O M I T
NEW YORK FASHION WEEK • SEPTEMBER 5-12, 2013
SPRING 2014: A CONFIDENT AND VERSATILE PALETTE
PANTONE 15-3920 Placid Blue
PANTONE 19-2428 Magenta Purple
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 women’s palette, to create a fresh, seasonally inspired look. For a modernized vintage feel, pair Purple Haze, a deeper, stronger version of Viol et Tulip, with Paloma, a condent and adaptable gray.
PANTONE 18-6216 Comfrey
PANTONE 18-1651 Cayenne
PANTONE 16-0000 Paloma
PANTONE 17-1360 Celosia Orange
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 ery Cayenne red, and help to harness the powerful
PANTONE 15-1225 Sand
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
PANTONE 14-0852 Freesia
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.
PANTONE 18-3949 Dazzling Blue
INSPIRATION Our collaborative collection for spring 2014 has drawn i nspiration from Japan’s most respected tattoo artist Horiyoshi III, and his symbolic gure, animal and oral 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 I’d say Midnight Blue and Scarlet. MUST-HAVE ITEM FOR SPRING 2014 Denitely the reversible bomber. It’s 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. WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU REPAINT A ROOM OR ACCENT PIECE IN YOUR HOME? 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. It’s such a sophisticated luxurious color.
