Fashion Colors at the Golden Globes
Fashion designers religiously watch the Golden Globes to see what fashion colors the actresses are wearing. It does influence Spring clothing choices and this of course, influences the colors I work with. At this time of year, I am ordering hat supplies as well, so it helps to know what to purchase.
2012 Spring Fashion Colors
Last week, I talked about the fashion trends for spring. These colors were in abundance at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards.

I noticed a lot of lace at the awards show, which I loved.

Spring 2012 Fashion Colors – Perfect!
I truly hope the Spring 2012 Fashion Clothing Colors report is accurate because I totally love the colors that are supposed to be “in” this spring. The vibrant jewel tones will look great on most people and be lots of fun to design hats and fascintors for.
For years, in my personal dress, I was a bit afraid of color. Living in New York City where the main color of dress is black, it was easy. I have found that color is actually easier to work with than you would think. The key is balance.
Poppy
The first color is Poppy. A vibrant, warm color. For an outfit in this color, I would probably suggest a taupe or nude hat or fascinator with hints of the poppy color in it. On the other hand, one could be daring and go for more drama. A perfect example would be Lola.

Geranium is our next color. For this color, I would suggest our April hat.
Geranium - A muted pink for spring

Orange is always a favorite color of mine. It is so warm and striking. Each year I try to buy something in orange to “wake up” my wadrobe. What would I wear with an orange dress?
Phoenix - A fun little saucer hat in navy that complements orange well.
So do we get the idea? Balance with a pop of color. Since all my hats are custom made in our studio, we can customize any hat in the colors you need.
Stay tuned for more colors next week!
