Having first learned about Johannes Itten’s Seasonal Color Theory at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, it soon became my lifelong passion, beginning with writing books, conducting national color seminars and promotions for Karastan, JP Stevens and others in the early 1970s. I also taught Seasonal Color for many years in New York and California colleges. Classes were continually sold out and as an educator the positive response led me to writing and self-publishing the first definitive book on this fascinating concept, titled “Color and You.”

Shortly after, a major publishing house (Simon & Schuster) took over selling millions of copies, more than 19 printings. Paramount Studios produced my Color and You video inspiring me to develop the first color analysis questionnaire. Other books and questionnaires followed on Style and Design, along with Revelli-licensed accessories, cosmetics, eyewear, scarves, all labeled by my seasonal concept. As National Spokesperson for Clairol I developed a professional color kit and books for hair stylists and colorists, classifying all of Clairol’s collections according to their respective seasonal types. There is a lot more to my life-passion, which I won’t bore you with that now…maybe in my future blog.  Stay tuned.
