Fall 2008 forecast: Orange crush

There are still 2 days left of the Fall 2008 New York fashion week and normally I like to wait till the last catwalk closes before I start writing about the color and style trends for the upcoming season.

But the fact is I’ve spied my favorite color on so many runways already that I’m selfishly prepared to jump the gun a little this time around and joyfully exclaim, “All Orange lovers rejoice! Come next Fall, all shades of this energetic hue from citrus to pomegranate to pumpkin to blood orange and all the juicy shades in between are sure to be in style.

Badgley Mischka, Carolina Herrera

Monique Lhuillier, Marciso Rodriguez, Ports 1961, 3.1 Phillip Lim

Benjamin Cho, Zero Maria Cornejo

Next week I’ll be taking a look at the other color and style trends emerging from the tents of Bryant Park… in the meantime let me know-

“Will you have a taste for Orange next Fall?”
