Spring symbolizes revitalization, and Pantone’s latest palette curation is a refreshing mix of lively hues.
“Colors for [New York Fashion Week] Spring 2024 inspire feelings of release. Opening the imagination and amplifying and liberating our own unique artistic spirit, they enable us to express ourselves in more inventive ways,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “A harmonious mix of familiar shades infused with a contemporary edge, colors for NYFW Spring 2024 introduce a new interpretation of current times as memories of the past and a glimpse of the future bring hope for the present.”
