Fifth Avenue
Come home to FIFTH AVENUE and a meticulously polished sanctuary.
The calm opulence of today's Fifth Avenue palette settles down the Ritz ostentation of old, smoothes lines, and seduces the eye with light-dancing materials such as velvets and silks, mirrors and metallics. You're tempted to tag it "minimalist," but its sensory experience is too lush, its edges too soft.
Traditionally, "luxurious" or "glamorous" executions dripped with old-money declarations - overstuffed damask chairs, gilded detailing, Florentine tapestry. Thanks to Target, IKEA and their design-forward kin, the masses now have access to this new spin on sophistication.
The palette veers toward jewel tones, but not those from the 1980s, which shared one look and value. Today's Fifth Avenue hues are about stark contrasts: from very pale Gray Screen to seriously dense Quixotic Plum and Turkish Coffee.
