Serendipity

I wrote my final thesis in college on Vincent Van Gogh and the impact that the color yellow had on his paintings.  It seems counterintuitive that this color, a symbol of optimism, is so pervasive in the creations of such a tortured soul. Perhaps it can be attributed to his passion for work and need to see the possibility of beauty in the every day detail of life, a sunflower, a starry sky, or a haystack. But look closely and you will notice that yellow is a highlight on a canvas saturated with the inkiest blues and greens.  Thus, the balance of his nature and the light he so desperately sought to clarify his life.

There were many trends presented at the Interfiliere International lingerie show in Paris from which I just returned;  but the infusion of golden hues and yellow accents juxtaposed with the intense blues and greens that will dominate the lingerie palette retrieved my long ago interpretation of this revolutionary artist.  Throughout the exposition many wonderful innovative details created surprising  interpretations of classic lingerie.  

 What it tells us is that there is a need for an unexpected accent to spark a customer’s interest.  Concepts Paris calls it “Serendipity”
