Considered one of the most prestigious and relevant institutions (as well as necessary) within the fashion industry, Pantone’s Color Institute returns to the spotlight with the 2023 Color of the Year. And it is that, after a 2022 where the ‘very peri’ devastated all areas of fashion and trends, a new color is coming in 2023, according to Pantone’s direct opinion, to (once again) turn the rules of fashion upside down. Under the name Viva Magenta (PANTONE 18-1750), the Pantone Institute has officially chosen this reddish hue as the trend tone for the upcoming 2023. The company emphasizes that this tone speaks of a new vision for the future, an unconventional color for an unconventional time, such as this one after the pandemic. Viva Magenta is according to experts a “brave and fearless, vibrant red that encourages experimentation and unbridled self-expression.”
“A nuanced crimson that strikes the balance between warm and cool tones while being assertive but not aggressive”. In fact, this shade is one of the most expensive and valued natural dyes, derived from cochineal insects. “As virtual worlds become a bigger part of our daily lives, we look to nature and what’s real for inspiration,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.
How and where will we see this tonality? Pretty much everywhere. Given its formulation, between carmine red and burgundy, this shade is the most practical and easy to adapt to the rest of the trend fields in 2022 (and future 2023). In fashion wear as well as beauty products, even accessories, Viva Magenta promises to be one of the most loved and returning Pantone shades of the season and there is no shortage of reasons. An enthusiastic, cheerful, strong and lively tone that envelops the woman with a unique strength that can no longer be seen in the latest fashion collections.
Along with reigning roses, vibrant reds and another lemony or bluish nuance, Viva Magenta paraded down the catwalk on numerous occasions very last Spring/Summer 2023. From cocktail dresses and wrap suits to Alberta Ferretti, go through elegant shades given or Rock. Gimabattista Valli even chose this Viva Magenta for her latest spring proposal in exclusive designs such as a pencil skirt, with an opening and ruffles. And that’s not all. Him too streetstyle has verified this tonality in many of the experts’ street outfits as decisive as Leonie Hannah or Caroline Daur.
