I just received an invite to purchase the new SeeVees shoe designed as an exclusive collaboration with Pantone. I love the vintage colors and casual style.
Here’s some of the highlights of the invitation:
For the first time in their 45 year history, Pantone has allowed an external design team into their hallowed archives. SeaVees has selected seven vintage colors from the original Pantone color guide. The palette, chosen from the only authentic guide known to exist, epitomizes the cool, casual style of California in 1963.

Fashion color authority Pantone has published its Pantone View Colour Planner for summer 2009, a forecasting tool titled “Independence.”The planner details seven palettes for use in apparel, cosmetics, interiors, industrial design and graphics:
- Female-ism: medium pastels with a tinge of retro glamour.
- Classic-ism: almost devoid of color except for one medium blue accent.
- Independent-ism: tart, bold and gregarious colors.
- Today-ism: deep, dark shades of reddish blues and brown.
- Absurd-ism: combines disproportionate color hues and values.
- Fetish-ism: “a carnal inspiration and desire for experimentation.”
- Surreal-ism: “plays with scale, combination and expectation to create unexpected, and even strange, creations.”
Tod Shulman, vice president of the fashion, home and interiors division at Pantone, said, “For summer 2009, Pantone is forecasting a trend toward color palettes that reflect individuality and make people feel good about who they are.”

Pantone has selected its “Color of the Year” for 2008: Blue Iris Pantone 18-3943.
The company said the blue-purple blend combines “the stable and calming aspects of blue with the mystical and spiritual qualities of purple,” and suggested this hue “satisfies the need for reassurance in a complex world, while adding a hint of mystery and excitement.”
“Look for it artfully combined with deeper plums, red-browns, yellow-greens, grapes and grays,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. She said Blue Iris “best represents color direction in 2008 for fashion, cosmetics and home products.”
Eiseman added, “Emotionally, it is anchoring and meditative with a touch of magic.”
