According to Color Institute experts, colors for LFW Spring/Summer 2023 chart a new path forward. Recontextualized with a modern edge, this season’s colors integrate tradition and innovation marrying our need for brightness and vibrant positivity with quieting tinted tones. A fearless attitude and freedom of expression reframe our perceptions of color with a no-holds-barred approach coming through in witty mixes and animated pairings.
“As we anticipate our future, we are embracing the freedom to colorfully express our individuality without constraint,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Experiencing a creative liberation that transgresses previous norms, we are adapting and inventing novel pairings and contrasting harmonies.”
