(NAPSI)-From men's ties to children's school supplies, pink is one of the hottest colors in fashion and consumer products this season.

Donald Trump has embraced the pink phenomenon and now more than ever, men are clamoring to be like the Donald and don the pink tie. From the fashion runways of Marc Jacobs, JCREW and Steve Madden, colorful retro designs show that its hip to be pink. Jessica Simpson has glamorized pink with her tasty make-up line, Dessert. Even boys are copying the pink wardrobe and tennis shoes popularized by rapper Cam'ron. Don't forget the original king of pink, the Pink Panther. A remake of the original movie is slated for 2006.

Wilson Jones, a leading office products manufacturer and inventor of the three-ring binder, is introducing a flashback to the 1980s in its back-to-school 3RB Style binder and divider line.
