This purple story started with the Bottega Veneta ad and quickly snowballed from there. It's not a conventional purple, it's more of a greyish purple and then a brownish purple - bordering on burgundy (though a straight up purple is represented by the clutch - by Nancy Gonzalez via a Neiman Marcus ad - in the middle of the collage as well as in the room's lighting). In my experience people have very strong reactions to purple - they either love it or hate it, rarely is a person indifferent.

I love the idea of putting together a color story, just for fun. I used to spend hours making collages when I was younger. I need to take the time to do an inspiration board again...they are so much fun:) Oh, and I definitely love purple.
ReplyDeleteWe are fashion soul mates - I have been lusting over those Bottega Veneta ads since they appeared. I have previously had a passion for purple but this hue of amethyst is gorgeous. Don't they say that purple hues create relaxation, cool & calmness. I also read that it evokes prosperity & abundance...& heaven knows I need that!! Great post Dobbygirl & fabulous weekend to you!
