The Joys of Pink: Empower Your Closet

Ooh, pink. Pink. Pink. Pink. I could keep going; that's how much I love this color. I often use it in my textile designs and I bet you have something pink in your closet. Pink is a cool color: it has energy, it can go from strong to being barely there.

When you look up a definition of 'pink', you come across this: 
- Adjective: of a color intermediate between read and white
- Noun: the best condition or degree

I had no idea pink could be a noun and a great one at that! Every time I put something pink on - be it an infinity scarf or a top or a skirt - I feel a boost of energy, of optimism, and of brightness and lightness. 

As I mentioned, I use pink in my prints and designs a lot. I challenge myself to come up with different ways of incorporating it in terms of technique and in terms of color combinations. Of course, I love black and pink: the contrast is strong and I enjoy that. Often, though, I work with pink and other colors to create a sense of visual balance, of dynamism that is there yet not screaming for attention. Pink likes grey and grey likes pink. And who knew? Pink goes great with neon green and forest green and purple and beige ... Take a look below at several of my textile designs. Don't they all have a completely different feel to them? That is the power of pink. 

Pink, really, is like you and all of your joys and feelings and ideas. When you go into your closet, it expresses everything that you are and I believe adding pink to your closet is a great way to spruce it up and to bring the 'best condition' (just as it is in the definition) to your wardrobe. ​Don't have pink in your closet?
