His is a really bold step for Pantone as they have embraced two key (and sometimes controversial) lifestyle trends with these colours.
First of all the movement towards a more genderless society (though at WGSN we are calling it Genderful, as it’s full of potential). In this society, pink is not just for girls and blue is not just for boys, but these colours are for everyone, to blur boundaries and break barriers together.

The virtual exhibit demonstrates the plurality of views on the female body politic, on self-representation and on agency.
It also shows that these art works emphatically need to be recognised by a male-saturated art world. The artists are not united in their voice or aesthetic, but their collective force challenges gender stereotypes – particularly in undulating social space of the internet. Is fashion a true art form?

Because the same amount of artistic expression goes into clothes, a piece of pottery or a painting. I've founded a museum on the basis that I think it's an artistic form that should be remembered.

Urban Outfitters has really done it this time. The conservative-owned company (whose right-wing co-founder, president, and CEO Richard Hayne is worth nearly $2 billion) has managed to top its many previous offenses, including that Holocaust-reminiscent 'Jewish Star' shirt. Over the weekend, the company was selling a vintage Kent State sweatshirt, complete with apparent blood splatter, on its website. The item, priced at $129, seemed to allude to the tragic 1970 campus massacre of anti-war student demonstrators by the Ohio National Guard that that left four dead and many more wounded, becoming a symbol of college activism and state brutality.
