So the other day as I was walking down the street, I realized that I’m only giving you half of the story. I live in NYC, work in fashion and I’m being stingy with you because I’m not sharing what I see and learn about trends and what’s happening here in fashion. Apparently, my lifestyle isn’t common. Sometimes you forget that what is normal for you, may be extraordinary to someone else. So apologies for not sharing, and to compensate, I will devote one post per week to The Scoop, relevant fashion trends around NYC.
In this inaugural post of The Scoop, you need to know how color effects our fashion world. Every year, Pantone, pretty much the color authority, determines a “color of the year”, which you will see in everything from nail polish colors, to lipsticks, shoes, swimsuits, jeans, you name it! For 2013 it was Emerald (okay, so maybe they didn’t call it Emerald, but suffice it to say it was a really dark green), but if you remember, that color was popular. Well, here we are in 2014 and the color of the year is (drum roll please)…..Radiant Orchid.
So while this isn’t exactly a trend on the street, I did one better, I gave you the inside scoop on the color of the year-which I’m sure we’ll be seeing everywhere shortly.
You heard the scoop here first!

P.S. Isn’t that orchid beautiful? It reminds me of one I had some years ago that I named Daisy…She’d be honored if she was still with us.
