Trendworthy Color: Geranium
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009
Most of my memories of Geranium include the potted plant versions that seemed to be around every corner at every house in my neighborhood growing up. I also happen to think my very own mother was the one who started the trend.
I love the bold color of the true Geranium red, but am finding easier to work with softer, more pink and more orange versions popping up this season.
Many of our designers did off color versions of Geranium including Rebecca Taylor, Shoshanna and Carolina Amato’s crocheted gloves for a touch of the trend. Nanette Lepore went literal with her piece and did a true Geranium red color combo.
I happen to really like the variations in everyone’s color selections- whether it is more pink, or more orange or more blue.
I look forward to seeing more of this color for Fall. I think it will work nicely back to black for an edgy, urban style as well as back to denim, of course.
My favorite combo is the light wash Current/Elliott boyfriend in Hickory Stripe with an Ella Moss Black Label Carmen top and Pour La Victoire’s Sabrina Nude Heel.
