London, UK, September 2021 – Pantone LLC, the global authority on colour and provider of professional colour standards for the design industries, announced the Pantone Fashion Colour Trend Report Spring/Summer 2022 edition for London Fashion Week (LFW).
Published for the fashion industry by the Pantone Color Institute, the trend forecasting and colour consultancy, this season’s report features the top ten standout colours as well as current takes on five core classics we can expect to see as fashion designers introduce new Spring/Summer collections.
Promoting new sentiments of simplicity and spontaneity, colours for LFW Spring/Summer 2022 fuse our deep connection to nature and need for comfort and familiarity with lighthearted airy pastels and visually arresting brights.
Capturing this theme of complement and contrast, these colours inspire playful creativity and unconstrained expression that is full of life.

As we explore a new future, we are looking for opportunities to do something completely different,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Colours that celebrate our desire to break the boundaries satisfy our fervent need for the playful creativity and unconstrained visual expression we are seeking as we enter into this time.”
