In its report for fall, Pantone highlights the fashion items designers say you’ve gotta have for 2009.
ABAETÉ by Laura Poretzky: A beautifully tailored riding jacket in Gunmetal Gray or black.
Adam Lippes: A rich, French faux-fur chubby in Vibrant Saffron with an under layer of Moss Green.
Akiko Ogawa: Hairy overcoat in navy — it’s a constructive but nuanced item.
Alvin Valley: Sweeping wide leg pants in Moonlight.
Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons: Denim — due to the democracy it has brought to American fashion.
Bibhu Mohapatra: The cocktail dress made entirely of woven peacock feathers with hints of Indigo silk — depending on the light and positioning, the colors in this dress reflect rich emeralds, Indigo, Moss and copper, so as the wearer moves, the color changes.
