Fashion designers still love denim, and so do the women for whom they design. This classic fabric showed up on many of the Spring 2017 runways, often mixed with painterly blues that have the feeling of mosaic tiles. Jewelry designers also have a case of the blues and have brought back lapis as the gemstone to watch. And, it’s one of Pantone’s colors for spring.
