Trend Talk: Colour Blocking
By: Evevon Chik
Colour blocking is perfect for those who dislike patterns (like plaid) or prints and before I start quoting verbatim, I think I’d better share this video where the trend is best summed up by Elle’s Special Project Editor.
We first spotted this trend in the Spring/ Summer 08 shows, with looks ranging from the young and playful…
Marc by Marc Jacobs
to the more grown-up and sombre…
DKNY
Which filtered down to the streets as captured by Facehunter, from dresses…
to skirts (I can’t believe I walked away from this gorgeous Miu Miu-esque skirt from Topshop!)…
to bags…
If you’re a fan of this look and follow the trends as dutifully as one would with buying a new pair of shoes or two EVERY month (hello Joyce!), then have no fear for it’s quite likely that the trend will continue on till the next season as seen in Fall 08 shows like Aquascutum and Marni.
