Fashion Week: Peacock Colors

Forgive me for not posting since last week. I’ve been consumed by New York Fashion Week. Unfortunately I didn’t get to actually go to the shows, but I held down the fort from my laptop. The fort being “The Thread” NBC New York’s fashion blog. I spent the week looking at every collection online, creating photo galleries, curating trend pics, and editing text. Totally fun.

One of my favorite collections was Peter Som’s. I totally adore the colors, and the mix of texture and pattern. While it’s unlikely I’ll ever dress like that, I would absolutely decorate a room in that palette. Purples, greens, blues – peacock colors for sure.

Here is a montage of peacock color looks from the fall/winter 2010 collections:
