Pantone reveals AW22/23 colour trends from London Fashion Week

The Pantone Color Institute, Pantone’s trend forecasting and colour consultancy, has released its Fashion Colour Trend Report for London Fashion Week AW22/23.

This season Pantone aims to emphasise chaotic and calm, merging its "respect for the environment and craving for serenity and wellbeing with light infused pastels and energising brights" to spread the message of joy, optimism and celebrating the now.

Spreading across ten colours, Pantone's London colour palette blends "timeless tones and artful brights" to embrace our contrasting desire for serenity and stability with energy and excitement. These colours include Molten Lava, Spicy Mustard, Lichen Blue, Meadow Violet and Abundant Green.

Featuring five colours, Pantone's AW/22/23 Core Classics provides seasonless hues that express versatility and longevity. These colours include Ice Coffee, Peach Caramel and Blueberry.

Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, said: “As we look to the future, we see two emerging paths that while completely diverse, are inevitably inter-connected.

"This intense dichotomy comes through in our colour choices for Autumn/Winter 2022/2023 where we see bold and brash colours that lend themselves to exaggerated statements reflecting our desire to embrace life with full vigor, coalescing with an array of neutral and natural tones that embody a sense of calm and containment and satisfy our need for harmony and tranquility.”
