After all, there's not a color out there as bold, bright and happy as orange.
Mr. Fowler's known this for years... or at least since his days at OSU... and now it seems we'll all be able to enjoy the jaunty hue... on and off the golf course.
You see, this spring "the fashion universe loves orange". And not just any orange either, what's in style for Spring/Summer 2011 is the pure, powerful shade that Rickie favors; International orange it's sometimes called, or Orange-red, or ... Persimmon. Yes particularly Persimmon.
The succulent shade can be found in the SS 2011 collections of major designers like Versace, J.Crew and Prada to name a few. I've heard we'll also be seeing a myriad of sharp citrus tones at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando at the end of the month when over 200 golf apparel companies... including some of the biggest names in golf fashion... present their new lines.
As for the fashion-forward young golfer who started the trend, most are predicting he'll win his first PGA Tour event soon ... and when he does there's no doubt about what color he'll be wearing.
Love this post. I love Fowler :)

ReplyDeletewell, for those who remember POPCICLES, this aint new to us
but of course, in 1908, crayola included it as one of eight crayon colors
what's old is new again
so i guess i can look forward to my phoenix moment also someday

There was an ad campaign in the UK/Europe for a mobile pone comapany with the strapline, "The future is bright, the future is Orange"
ReplyDeleteVery appropriate for Rickie!
the great thing about Orange is that it works in all seasons. It's a great Fall/Winter color when mixed with browns, tans and forest greens and a great Spring/Summer color with pink and turquoise. Rickie by the way, would look great in any color.
ReplyDeleteHi. Hmm orange isn't usually my favorite fashion color but everything here looks great.
ReplyDeleteMy sister has a blog called http://golfgurls.com and this month she's going to FL to the PGA 2011 Merchandise Show and she'll be posting news and images of golf gear and fashions from the show if you want to check it out..
Rickie even changed colors for Morgan's charity event. Did you see my comment about Rickie on the Foundation FB page? I think you know I had the Danbury beauties in mind plus a couple of your listeners when I mentioned the Fowler factor. ;)
