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. |
