Pink: The History of Punk, Pretty, and Powerful Color

Color is a big part of our work at Stylecouncil, so this week we thought we’d visit FIT’s latest exhibition. The show is called Pink: The History of a Punk, Pretty, and Powerful Color. The show is located in their Special Exhibitions Gallery.

We love how they’ve created an entire exhibition solely on a single color. Pink plays a major role in different cultures, gender and history. Its difficult to understand how powerful the color pink is until you're standing in space filled with it.

The theme “pink is power” is an excellent example on how designers contribute to the world. We usually associate pink with being delicate, quiet, and feminine, but this exhibit showed how designers have changed this idea of pink. Instead making the color feel strong, loud, and androgynous.

If you haven’t already, go check it out! The exhibition is up until January 5th, so there’s still time! #HistoryofPink

Summer Rewind

Summer isn’t over yet and neither is the bight colorful inspiration
that comes with it!

One major essential is a bright and cheery palette. This brings
warmth and excitement to each design and reminds us of a long day
of sunshine.

Be inspired by adventures to the beach, picnics, and fireworks. Each moment can create a nautical print, funky floral or a patriotic pattern.

Hope your summer isn't over!

Romantic Primaries

Recently we’ve been inspired by Gucci’s 2019 Resort Collection.

The deep reds and golds are reminiscent of a twisted, dark romance. This leaves us unsettled, but also wanting more. Each color is irresistible on its own, but together it creates this iconic cinematic moment.

The addition of the blues creates a bold color combination that

elevates a simple primary palette. These sophisticated colors become
 irresistible and luxurious.
