It’s another new year and another new colour of the year from Pantone. I get so excited every winter and New Year to see what colour Pantone will choose for the year. I didn’t publish it, but in my own mind I totally called it. This shade of green was everywhere last year, even here, [...]

It’s Pantone’s new colour for 2012; tangerine tango. I’m normally a fan of orange and coral shades, but too much of a good thing is just not good.

Recently I’ve written about some of the inspiration for my new fall creations (Creating: fall sneak peek). The first is a rocker look, inspired by Emmanuelle Alt, all black and dark teal.
