LFW: Pantone unveils spring/summer 2021 colours

Pantone, the global authority on colour, has unveiled that colours for
spring/summer 2021 for London Fashion Week will highlight the “joy of
colour” inspired by “reimagination and reinvention”.

The bi-annual report, published for the fashion industry, reveals ten
colours, which it states are “floral hues reflective of gardens in
springtime” that can be paired with its new core classics to “fuse a spirit
of lightheartedness with functionality and flexibility”.

According to Pantone, while the world may be going through
“indeterminate times,” the colours for London Fashion Week spring/summer
2021 highlight the need for people to “immerse themselves into a world
characterised by colours that reflects hope and optimism”.

This is showcased with the “mildly sweet and pleasantly tangy” garden
variety ‘Pickled Pepper’ green, a brilliant blue ‘Indigo Bunting’ with
cheerful gusto described as an “emblematic of the all-blue male songbird”
and a mystical Purple Rose that “conveys a message of enchantment”.

Commenting on the LFW spring/summer 2021 colour palette, Leatrice
Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, said in a
statement: “A range of floral hues reflective of gardens in springtime
awakens our spirit, reinvigorating our interest in colour that inspires
feelings of much-needed optimism.

“Colours that are flexible and can work year-round, colours that
amalgamate our desire for comfort and relaxation with energy and
determination.”

Other colours in the top ten, includes ‘Pirouette’ a “diaphanous pink”
that adds a tender touch to the colour palette, while earthy ‘Orange Ochre’
transcends the seasons, and ‘Beach Glass’ is a watery aqua.

Then there is ‘Lava Falls’ a “hot molten” red that “erupts with a
flowing energy” and a tropical ‘Blue Atoll’.

In addition, ‘Marigold’ the “comforting” golden orange-infused yellow
and the “friendly and joyful” optimistic ‘Illuminating’ yellow, both on the also feature for London.

The idea of the SS21 colours for LFW is to emphasis the “pleasure and
enjoyment colour can bring to our lives,” added Pantone.

These ten colours can be paired alongside five core classics: ‘Baby’s
Breath’ – a tinted off-white “lighter than air”; ‘Macchiato’ – a coffee
with cream shade imbued with warmth; ‘Polar Night’ – a “profoundly deep and
restful” twilight blue; ‘Ultimate Gray’ – a quietly assuring and reliable
grey shade that Pantone states “encourages composure”; and ‘Sphagnum’ – a
mossy green colour.

The aim of the core classics is to offer designers colours that are
versatility as well as having the ability to transcend the seasons,
explains Pantone.
