The Color Purple: Designers Envision Pantone's 2014 Picks

Pantone colors: Paloma #16-0000 and Freesia #14-0852

Inspiration: I am always drawn to saturated, rich tones that excite the eye, and spring 2014 is no exception. In addition to the rich tones, I have added in softer tones like Dusted Pink and Ice Blue, which help give balance to the bolder tones.

Must-have item: A modernist print trouser-leg pant with a beige-colored pleated back trench is a favorite look. The multicolored pant is blocked with the print, and the trench takes you to any event day or night.

Signature color: Ice Blue
