Spring fashion inspires the WFE team!

They're here!  Spring colors are finally gracing the runways, leaving the WFE team overflowing with ideas for your event.  Fashion lovers at heart, our team draws inspiration from some of our favorite designers and their sometimes unexpected color pallet choices.  Pantone, the it team of color trend predictors, has released this years Spring tones. You might be surprised to see that dark isn't necessarily going away this season.

Celebration
Spring personified in a palette, the colors that make up this years Spring color trend are mostly named after flowers: iris, viola, daffodil, poppy, and geranium. Should this color scheme tickle your fancy do not hesitate to incorporate into your Spring wardrobe; your fave designers sure won't.

Abstraction
I must confess that this color pallet isn't my favorite; gasp yes something less than positive from a WFE team member? Okay lets put a positive spin on this: The WFE team knows diversity of opinion is what makes each event so unique and saves us from the monotony that results in Pleasantville. In short, take a look for yourself and do not let this WFE team members humble opinion sway you any which way.

New Classic
According to Lenzing, new and unexpected twists on classic elements and naturally bright pigments will develop into new classics. "Fabrics are classic, materials the same but all elements are somewhat twisted: fibers in unusual yarn-spinning and -counts, classical weave patterns in atypical materials clashed with a curious checkered design, an embroidery where you didn't expect it - nothing loud, just enough to make you startle."

Aqueous
At WFE our favorite Spring / Summer color trend 'aqueous' is also the most dangerous, but hey we like living on the edge. An obvious color theme for Spring because of its nautical tones,. To avoid such misapplication we use it with "floating" pieces where the fabric is the focus. An interpretation of the sheer trend seems a strong contender if you intend to work this color theme through your wardrobe as well as your event.
