Blue Iris PANTONE ® 18-3943

A Season of Change

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK, FEBRUARY 1– 8, 2008

Royal Lilac PANTONE 18-3531

Best described as a season of change, fall ’08 is defined by

rich, elegant hues that offer a vibrant selection. New York’s

fashion designers emphasize cooler blues, greens and purples

in the top five tones used in their collections, followed by

variations of warm red, orange and yellow.

Shady Glade PANTONE 18-5624

“Fall is traditionally a time for subdued, quiet colors, but this

season we are seeing a shift toward cool hues with bright,

exciting undertones,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director

of the Pantone Color Institute ® . “Conventional tones such as

warm autumn hues, chocolate browns and steel grays are

also among the fall color choices. Blue and purple tones have

become staples, as illustrated by Blue Iris, one of the top 10

colors chosen by designers this season, and Pantone’s Color

of the Year for 2008.”

Caribbean Sea PANTONE 18- 4525

Aurora Red PANTONE 18-1550

Blue Iris, a beautifully balanced blue with an undertone of

purple, is a favorite among designers, as it combines the calming

aspects of blue with the mystical and spiritual qualities of purple.

Dramatic Royal Lilac brings purple to the forefront of fashion,

and generates a bit of heat with its exciting red undertones.

Shitake PANTONE 18-1015

Serene, sophisticated Caribbean Blue is another popular

hue this fall, especially in jewelry and accessories. But it can

add a colorful intensity wherever it is used in the wardrobe.

Twilight Blue, a twist on a classic navy, shows the

transitional aspect of spring segueing into fall. Serving as

a wonderful base color, Shady Glade delivers a natural

elegance to the fall palette. Taking green in an interesting

direction with its true green characteristics, this hue is

a departure from greens of seasons past, which have had

distinctively yellow undertones.

Withered Rose PANTONE 18-1435

Twilight Blue PANTONE 19-3938

Reds are a steadfast favorite for fall and Aurora Red is

no exception. Versatile and universally appealing, this true

red adds a splash of energy to the palette. Soft, dusky

Withered Rose, with its pinkish qualities and brown

undertones, is a versatile hue that blends with every shade.

Ochre, a beautifully mellow yellow with a hint of mustard,

adds a touch of lightness and spice. Orange has had a long

run, and now, more than ever, consumers are gravitating

toward intense shades like Burnt Orange, bringing this once

steady background color to the foreground. The complex yet

modest Shitake is an intriguingly understated shade,

especially when teamed with the robust colors of fall ‘08.

INSPIRATION

The idea of “strange beauty” —

something that is freakishly odd, but at

the same time elegantly beautiful. This

oxymoron, specifically created for this

season, gave us more freedom

and achieves an avant-garde take on

traditional fashion. We are also constantly

inspired by our home country of Korea,

as well as European and American

cultures — the resulting designs are a

unique combination of melded ideas.

SIGNATURE COLOR

Mineral Red, Rusty Orange and Yellow

Ochre juxtaposed with Porcelain, Black,

Beige and Brown to achieve a distinctive

richness and “strange beauty”

COLOR PHILOSOPHY

Rich and warm colors communicated

in a subtle and indirect manner
