With New York Fashion Week in full swing, experts from the Pantone Color Institute have lifted the veil on the colors that will be showing up in our wardrobes for the spring-summer 2022 season. Symbolizing the emotions stirred up by nearly two years of pandemic, between lockdowns, closures, cancellations and anxiety, the palette is both soft and dynamic, reflecting a need for serenity but also a relentless quest for freedom.
Does what we wear reveal what we're feeling? Or maybe our desires? While fashion can sometimes seem futile, particularly in periods of crisis, it is clear that it is—and has always been—a means of self-expression and self-assertion. The colors, patterns, cuts, and textures that we select from our closets each morning and decide to put on are rarely chosen at random, whether we're conscious of it or not; they act as a window into moods, desires, needs, and aspirations of the moment—personal as well as collective.
