This year's New York Fashion Week saw an exciting collaboration between automotive luxury and design brilliance as Porsche teamed up with Pantone to unveil an exclusive new color: Turbonite. This vibrant hue, inspired by the iconic aesthetics of Porsche sports cars, aims to redefine luxury in both the automotive and fashion realms.
Turbonite is a striking, deep shade that embodies the spirit of speed, performance, and innovation—qualities synonymous with the Porsche brand. Turbonite was said to be timeless and strong. The color was developed through meticulous research and collaboration between Porsche's design team and Pantone, a leader in color matching and trend forecasting. Together, they sought to create a color that not only resonates with the automotive world but also captures the imagination of fashion enthusiasts.
Pantone is at the very center of the color industry with more than 10 million designers/producers relying on their products and services. They provide unique, customized colors to help brands with color consulting, creating identity, and conveying emotion through their use of color. Twice a year Pantone comes out with the Fashion Color Trend Report that highlights the trend preview for the upcoming season.
This is the first time an automotive company has teamed up with Pantone and the first time the Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report has featured a color from an automotive brand. The collaboration extends beyond just the runway though. Porsche celebrated its 50th anniversary of the 911 Turbo with a limited-edition model along with a Taycan Turbo S that was presented at the ‘Porsche x Pantone’ event during the New York Fashion Week. The event was attended by industry leaders, celebrities, and influencers, all captivated by the innovative blend of fashion and automotive design. The partnership between Porsche and Pantone has set a new standard for how color can influence different industries, showcasing the power of collaboration in creating something truly unique.
As the fashion and automotive worlds continue to intersect, Turbonite stands as a testament to the limitless possibilities that arise when design and passion collide. This unveiling not only adds a new chapter to Porsche's storied history but also ignites excitement for what’s to come in both industries.
