True Colours

Despite the huge relentless dumping of snow we got yesterday, spring is still on my mind.  Not sure how the “fashionistas” of my neighbourhood will take to this spring/summer bold colour trend, but I for one would be happy to not see the pouty dark ghouls of last summer.  Who wears black in the summer? Com’on! 

 Creamscicle orange, ultramarine blue, emerald green and bubblegum pink are but a few of the colours used in Jil Sander’s SS11 ready-to-wear runway show, which set off an electrifying saturation buzz back in January. The collection propelled its viewers back to the height of United Colors of Benetton.

This chroma wave has reached many fashion shores so do not fret if you love this look but can’t afford a $1500 skirt.  Check out Zara, their March lookbook has some tintalizing ensembles that are more wallet friendly.
