PANTONE/color snapshot

As we approach New York City Fashion Week and I continue to work on Poppin’s first ever NYFW Survival Kit, I have been doing some research on what colors are in for Spring. PANTONE/fashion + home is a great site for reporting color trends in a way that is applicable in everyday life (whether you’re getting dressed or picking out a new couch).

It’s amazing how many of the colors for Spring ’12 are already present in the Poppin collection. Check out the color fashion forecast for the coming months and how you can get your desktop up to snuff (c’mon you knew that was coming).
