The colors and prints of 1992 came in a large variety.
Through researching many articles it seems that animal prints were coming into style, all types including; leopard spots and zebra stripes. These prints were combined with bright colors intensifying the effects of the items in standing out.
Floral prints, plaids and checks also stood out among the fashions of 1992.
Colors were to stand out in brighter and lighter colors.
In handbags red, green and blue were the most abundant colors, followed closely by fuchsia, plum, purple, cognac, and gold.
Red and Sooty Blacks were quoted as being the power colors of the fashion season in clothes, accessories and makeup.
These bright and colorful patterns were used to brighten up the consumer, add excitement, get them shopping, anything to get the minds off of the disappointing economy and to get the money flowing.
Colors were also affected by world events;
Rich oranges, reds, and yellows were present influenced by the summer Olympics in Barcelona. Warm hues and matching patterns that were native to immigrants of the middle and far east seemed to celebrate America’s “Melting pot.”
