Can Color Give Us Emotional Nourishment?

During Fashion Week recently in New York,  Living Coral was shown in all the latest looks for Spring 2019 fashion. It is a beautiful color, perhaps reminding us of underwater reefs or summer sunsets along the beach.

Pantone is a for-profit enterprise which forecasts color trends and analyzes the psychology of color, among handling brand identity representation and more. Laurie Pressman, Pantone's VP, stated that this color in particular evokes nourishment, comfort and familiarity that can make us feel good inside. "It's emotional nourishment. It's a big hug...we want to play and be uplifted...."

As a jewelry designer, I do look to this annual forecast of color influences, because it will perforate the travel, fashion and beauty trends. Representing a brand like Gillian Hurrie Inspired, I want to stay on Trend and make my clients feel good, of course inspired, and unique. So look for some awesome color mixed into our spring and summer collections! 

In the meantime, do take the time to go inward and nourish yourself during winter: surround yourself with bright color, wear jewelry you love, hang in the warm comfort of home, keep up your exercise and yoga and meditation. And if any of these makes you feel uplifted during this winter season, that's a blessing!

Till Next Time~Gillian
