Resort 2014

It’s no coincidence that our Monday color mood’s tend to focus on exotic travel destinations. Who wouldn’t want to sail the beautiful blue sea rather than whatever their usual Monday morning commute entails?

We are really feeling these tropical color palettes combining soft pastels with pops of bright. They’re one part lazy and languid, and one part exotic sexiness… Always a winning combination in our book.

This week we want to transport you to picturesque dreamscapes that seem too magical to exist in the real world. You know, just your average summer vacation inspiration.

One quirky print trend that caught our attention from the Resort 2014 runway shows was the use of typography. Often executed in black and white for a more optical effect, we see how various compositions create positive and negative space, accentuating both geometric and organic shapes found in the letters and numbers.
