SOME PEOPLE call it a color crisis.

Newly color-analyzed women rush to their local
stores to purchase complete outfits in their colors, on-

Does that mean last year's styles will have to do?
Innovative fashion marketers are saying no.

one step further, allowing the frustrated consumer to
take a color vacation, deciding to wear a color that
she was told is not her best.

color palette, she needs to adjust her make-up colors.

Dyer offers the following suggestions for successful
color vacationing:

* Locate a cosmetic and wardrobe consultant you
can trust to give you color advice and help you
determine the color undertones of things you already

own.

* For new purchases, look for cosmetics and ap-
parel items that are color coded into warm and cool
categories by the manufacturer. This takes the
guesswork Out Of wardrobe coordination.

puts women in their best look. That doesn’t mean it’s
their only look. We've developed the color vacation
concept to show the flexibility of color coding,” says
