The creators behind the big couture houses' spring palettes seem to be suffering from the winter blahs. Armani's Pink Light palette for the spring 2009 collection is nothing more than Armani's signature slapped on top of a plain black compact. While all of the colors in the collection are great for spring (lots of luminescent, fresh pinks living up to the Pink Light title) the packaging for the palette could have been a bit more creative. I guess they wanted something very simple to go with the basic colors in the palette. "This limited-edition palette is embossed with Mr. Armani's signature, a distinct design for a classic spring palette." I don't know about distinct, but I guess the colors could be described as classic for spring. In any case, I'm excited about the upcoming Bronze Mania collection, which features a very interesting, desert-like patterned palette.
