Wear Now, SS10: Yellow!
Yeah, OK, so I’m kind of stealing (building upon) the idea I had in my previous post, about wearing yellow to support the Liberal Democrats in the Prime Ministerial elections. You’ve got to admit though, yellow’s everywhere. The colour is exceptionally versatile and the Spring collections show this, from the vibrancy of Proenza Schouler to the flashings of dream-like, mellow shades at Rodarte and finally to the luscious sorbet quality of Chanel Haute Couture.

Particularly strong ‘yellow’ looks include pieces by Holly Fulton at Fashion East, whose vinyl-like citric yellow dress was an adapted nod to the past, and by Jean Paul Gaultier, who, with stripes, opted for a more rugged, bohemian aesthetic.

Enjoy this summer by throwing some brights in your wardrobe, especially if you, like me, are normally confined to a palette of dark blues, greys and blacks. It can look great and will make you look perhaps a little more carefree in the sunshine!
