LATIFA PINNOCK
Outside of the blossoming trees and the cool air, when we think of spring, we think of colours! As we see a bit of spring in the air, we suddenly feel as though we have to wear the brightest and boldest colours!
As a fashion designer and clothing manufacturer, I have never been scared to push the envelope. Season change is an important time in my industry and introducing “quote on quote” spring/summer colours in my fall/winter collections is something I do with confidence. I will tell you more about that in one of my upcoming articles.
If you are one of those individuals that like to play it safe with neutrals, you are going to feel a little left out this season, because fluorescent colours are in full effect and on high alert!
Have you been into Zara lately? Zara is one of the leading clothing stores in North America, and in my opinion, they are currently leading in the industry with affordable fashion trends.
Over the years it was considered risky to pair certain colour tones together, but if time has thought us anything, it is that “Nothing GREAT comes without taking a risk,” especially in fashion!
After what seems like a decade of staying indoors, we are ready to get back into the groove of things, and this season we are doing it fashionably!
Let’s talk about some of this season’s hottest trends. Retro inspired styles are timeless; however, you will see a lot more retro inspired looks this spring/summer. A bright bottom with matching tops and shoes. Bright coloured suits etc. PLEASE, don’t be scared to mix and match your colours.
If you prefer to play it safe with neutral colours, soft tones have been a classic in the industry for decades, and they will be around for years to come. What we are also starting to see is a lot of men’s suits in pastel colours. What a breath of fresh air!
Some say fashion is fashion, and while inspiration is everywhere it is very important to not only dress for the occasion, but to show a bit of your personality in every outfit that you wear. Real trendsetters are the ones that take risks, and there is nothing wrong with having your own personal style.
So, whether it is a blazer and a graphic tee paired with shorts/pants, a cute summer dress, a pant suit, or your own personal style, play with different hues this season, because I promise you, you cannot go wrong.
My name is Latifa Pinnock CEO & Founder at Fucha Couture, and I would like to officially welcome you to The Future of Fashion at Fucha Couture.
