I designed this original poster to celebrate my new book, Fashion Palettes. The book features 32 chapters for 32 colors. Here we see each color represented by a different fashion swatch. For many of the swatches, I selected materials that align with how I’ve characterized each color in the book.

COMING SOON — Fashion Palettes: Color Inspiration, Meaning and Mood

Coming soon from Hoaki Books! My new book, Fashion Palettes: Color Inspiration, Meaning and Mood. Co-authored with another color-obsessed designer, Lauren Wager. This is our second collaboration together.

Fashion Palettes features 32 chapters for 32 colors, exploring how color names influence our perception of color itself. Through inspiring fashion imagery and color combinations, the book illustrates how colors interact with one another and on various materials. 

When planning, researching and writing the book, the readers I imagined reaching were people who use color in their work, especially designers, artists and students.

BOOK PREVIEW — Palette Perfect, Vol. 2: Color Combinations by Season

 

I’m so excited to share that my writing and photography will be featured in the upcoming book foreword of Palette Perfect, Volume 2: Color Combinations by Season.

This book is the follow-up to the original Palette Perfect book by Lauren Wager, creator of the Color Collective blog. Lauren’s color palettes have been inspiring designers for years. That’s why, when she asked me to write the foreword, it was an immediate yes!

Available from Hoaki Books on August 16, 2022. You can place a pre-order via bookshop.org — I love this platform because it helps support local bookstores around the U.S.
