Color Trend: Potther’s Clay

For those having a soft spot for earthy shades, Potter’s Clay comes as the best one among them all through its strong foundation and lovely hybrid of brown and Russet orange, evocative of fall rustling foliage. So it comes as no surprise to see this pleasant shade gilding many fall/winter runway shows this year and taking its stand among the fall/ winter 2016-2017 color trends.

At Anna Sui’s psychedelic runway show we see a couple of laid-back dresses in Potter’s Clay mixed with some paisleys or floral prints but also an amazing goat fur cropped jacket and velvet knee-high boots to catch general attention instantly. At Isabel Marant we bump into a smattering of knitted pieces in this shade, while at Tibi and Trussardi Potter’s Clay feels completely at ease beaming over on a range of suede, silk and leather pieces.

At Trussardi and Akris we also observe many knee-high boots so easily and versatile to mix and match with any possible shade while at Prada and Vanessa Seward some cool coats in Potter’s Clay come into view. You are off the track thinking that Potter’s Clay functions the best for outerwear or footwear.

It works perfectly for dresses as well like we see at DKNY, Tibi, Trussardi and Givenchy, the latter using this shade in a psychedelic illusion print taking reins throughout the whole runway show. And if you are after some unique colorblock solutions you would probably appreciate the Potter’s Clay-dark purple combination appearing at Trussardi.
