We need to stop using other people's flowers. "In Russia, a council was created to determine the colors of the year. This will be a response to the annual color selection of the Pantone Institute, which guides the global fashion industry. The body is called the Council for the Development and Promotion of a New Russian Style in the Public Space. It is chaired by the advisor to the President of Russia Elena Yampolskaya. "We will determine approaches to determine the color of the year. We will stop using other people's flowers - we ourselves have a mustache, we ourselves have flowers. In this sense, Russia has a very rich heritage and many talented designers and artists. I think it would be very good if we announced our - or our - colors of the year," she said. The council will also develop the concept of "an all-Russian identity in architecture", create a "national family of fonts" and create a "national color palette".
