Pinklemon Follow up Autumn/Winter 2010-11

About two months ago, I published a color trend report for autumn/winter 2010, courtesy of Pinklemon, which has just released a follow up—meaning there are more colors to come!

I hope both reports will guide your color choices into the wintry months!






Pinklemon is a combined trend and design bureau, based in the heart of Aarhus, Denmark and located in an old chocolate factory, which has been transformed into a creative working environment.

Some More of What the Designers Are Saying

I have been very excited lately to see the number of visitors to my website increasing rapidly by the month, currently averaging about 6,500!

I am also very pleased by the number of emails that I receive from you about how much you enjoy reading the articles.

Then, when a designer replies, that makes my day all the more brighter! So, here’s some more of what they have been saying:
