Fall 2026 color trends from Pantone at NYFW

Color swatches c/o Pantone /

The color trends from the New York Fashion Week runways are here! We are starting to see more color going down the runways in addition to the neutral hues designers and consumers have been favoring over the past few years. This signals a trend towards re-adding color to our wardrobes. Love that!

The colors from NYFW for the fall/winter 2026/2027 season are offering a mix of traditional autumn hues and spring/summer shades. I love seeing “Neptune” and “All Aboard” mixed in with autumn colors such as “Red Mahogany” and “Burnt Olive.” This gives us leeway next fall to really play with the colors we choose to wear.

The top five neutral colors are also a mix in vivid, classic colors which play well together and also mixed with the vivid top ten hues from the runway. Love it!

New York Fashion Week is here, and so are the upcoming trends for the spring/summer 2025 season. Love! This means we have a whole new color palette to fall in love with. Thankfully Pantone has released their seasonal color trend report from the runways of New York Fashion Week. These are the top ten colors designers used from Pantone on their spring/summer 2025 runways, and also the top five neutral hues.

I am loving the shades of blue and green as well as the neutral hues. The overall palette offers soft versions of traditional spring and summer hues, which I love. Even the neutral colors have nods of blue in them, love that!

Academy of Art University Graduation Fashion Show 2023

academy of art fashion show 2023

The Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California, held their graduation fashion show on May 11, 2023. I was invited to attend, but unfortunately my schedule wouldn’t allow me to go up to the city. Thankfully the show was also live streamed on YouTube, so I was able to enjoy all the beautiful designs shown by their new graduates.

Since I wasn’t able to attend in person, my photos are horrible. I apologize profusely for posting screenshots of the show! You can watch the entire show on YouTube here.

I was really impressed with the combination of artistic vision and down to earth, wearable designs presented by the graduates. I saw so many styles on the runway which were street worthy! Love that!

Please carve out some time to watch the show in its entirety. You will not be disappointed! You can learn more about the Academy of Art University fashion school online at AcademyArt.edu.

Thanks for stopping by!
