The season of style is upon us in Golden Glow


Golden Glow
Gorgeous.  Do not be afraid.  This is one color that will—used judiciously—make your Fall 2010 wardrobe the stuff of legend. 

Pantone says
Reminiscent of a radiant sunset on a brisk autumn evening, an earthy deepened shade of yellow, creates a retro look with Purple Orchid or Woodbine.

Priority Item
Clean, high-polish copper.  No burnishing, etching or patina.  The bigger the better.

$
Glam up the glow.  Find a big plastic accessory that you already have, and spray paint copper over orange.  Just be sure to get the paint that is specifically made for plastics: Chipping on the subway totally ruins the effect.

$$
This strong color translates beautifully through the gentle, soft silks and the very lightest knits.  In the right fabric, a strong statement in Golden Glow will grant you a competitive advantage in your field and elevate your good taste.  Stay away from the dense or shiny silks (charmeuse, damask and satin) and heavier knits. 

$$$
This is the lead color for After Five.  Glowing copper velvet.  Deep sunset beading over graphite silk or steel angora, offset by a touch of anything else in the Fall 2010 palette.

$$$$
Grab hold of the Great Pumpkin.  That’s what we call the hand-held fireplace that Harry Winston placed on Halle Barry’s finger for the 2002 Oscars.

Caution
Too much of a good thing really can be bad.  If you must purchase a solid color knit suit in Golden Glow (likely vintage), please consult the designer or any psychiatrist prior to accessorizing.
