“Color is very emotional and it will be a very
important mood lifter for spring 2010.”

– Adrienne Vittadini, fashion designer

Every year Adsoka does comprehensive spring color research that spans graphic, interior and fashion design. This year, neutrals will continue to be prominent because they indicate a sense of practicality and longevity. However, brightness will infuse many designs to counterbalance what has been a dreary economy with cheer and confidence.
