From the success of ‘Barbie’ to the naming of Taylor Swift as person
of the year, ‘soft power’ is gaining traction in culture and fashion.
This trend has paved the way for Pantone to declare ‘Peach Fuzz’ as
the colour of the year.
Laurie Pressman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute,
said that “Pantone 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is a cozy peach hue softly
nestled between pink and orange.”




‘Peach Fuzz’ represents the growing awareness that ‘soft power’ might
be a way to counteract the aggression and divisiveness currently
rendering society apart. Pale shades of pink and peach have been
transformed from a color reserved for baby girl clothes and
bridesmaid’s dresses, to become a symbol of feminism and the strength
of women in society.

Tracing the Trend




Around 2016, ‘millennial pink’ grew to become a popular colour among hip
20 and 30-somethings. It was strongly marketed as a colour that was
both gender-neutral and trans-seasonal. Even male rappers like
Cam’ron, Drake and Jay-Z embraced the color.
Recent seasons have shown how versatile a peachy pink tone can be.
Here are some examples of fabric, print and colour combinations.
