The sunny hue first appeared on Miuccia Prada's fall 2007 runway, and then Raf Simons picked it up for his spring 2008 collection for Jil Sander. Now orange is turning up on everything from Pucci's new sunglass collection to Furla's braided-handle tote and Louis Vuitton's modernist cuff.

"Black is always the color people rely on most often in tough times, especially if they're going to spend on big-ticket items." Eiseman, who prepares an annual color forecast for the fashion and home markets, says black will most likely be included in Pantone's selection of the top 10 colors of 2008.
