Ten fabulous photos featuring images by Pasadena’s Muir Ranch Director, Mud Baron, whose fun and unusual floral crowns were all the rage at Coachella 2017. This year, festival-goers who made the pilgrimage to Indio came equipped with festival staples—crop tops, mesh, denim, flowers and a bohemian attitude—demonstrating why Coachella has a reputation as the ancestral homeland of the festival look. There’s no doubt Mud’s floral crowns were an opportune ‘new’ fashion accessory at the festival!
The Pantone Color Institute has announced its Color of the Year for 2017 — and we’re back to just one color this year! It’s called “Greenery” or Pantone 15-0343 – a gorgeous shade of green.
The color is said to be symbolic of “new beginnings” — the reconnection we seek with nature and one another. Greenery is described by the institute as a “fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew.”
This annual color award is supposed to serve as an icon of what’s taking place in the world, an expression of the mood and attitude. And this year that mood and attitude is a yearning for a fresh New Year, healthier food choices, flowers, greens, and the outdoors — in one word, environment.
“There’s a growing desire to reconnect with Nature and what is real, and find ways to disconnect from technology. We need a break. We need to stop and breathe,” states Laurie Pressman, the Pantone Color Institute’s vice president.
So, in 2017 we’re planning to surround ourselves in “Greenery” and here’s some of our favorites!
