Pantone added that the palette of potent and powerful colours featured in LFW Autumn/Winter 2024/2025 “melds a fusion of retro influences with our desire to create new visions.”
“Blending wear-ability with desirability, this grouping of sophisticated mid-tones, nature-based hues, deep darks, and natural and honest neutrals signify a shift in mood with their strong trans-seasonal appeal and inherent statement of elegance and ease,” Pantone Color Institute executive director, Leatrice Eiseman, said.
She added that these shades were sleek and practical, yet visually engaging.
Pantone also considers them to be “co-dependable essentials that embrace an approach to dressing that is more pure and simple, but at the same time lends itself to creativity and playfully dramatic statements.”
“Colours for LFW Autumn/Winter 2024/2025 reimagine a new definition of core colour and seasonless shades,” said Eiseman.
“Linked to a more considered approach to colour’s functionality, this creative yet approachable palette creates a strong foundational base upon which to layer playful accent tones that adds drama to the simplicity, indulges the senses and embraces the elevated every day ”
