SS12 TREND REPORT : color pop

COLOR POP!

Color blocking and intense colors are always a good bet for Spring Summer. We seem to want nothing more then to burst out of hibernation and into an explosion of yellows, reds, greens and purples! This year its color all over from hat to trouser to toe in gorgeous jewel, autumnal and acid tones. Think full on and think avoiding the rule of placing black with it to tone it down - place it next to a darker color such as maroon red, brown or even red skinny jeans. This is one for the brave at heart


So who is doing it? Think Mulberry, Aquascutum, Carven and DKNY to start, oh and Haider Ackermann.


How do I wear it? If you worried about being sectioned while popping to Dunnes for a pint of milk, for wearing so much color then fear not! You can try the new trend by limiting it to accessories. Why not try Ray Bans with a thick colorful frame? A color pop shoe instead of your usual black? If color still bothers you or you work in an all black environment then try some bright color pop cosmetics - see below post! Barry M do a selection of neon and intense color nail varnishes to suit all tastes! As do models own!
