| Color-blocked looks at Gucci SS11 |
Color-blocking was obviously the trend to watch this year. Some see this as a reaction against all the camel and beige from fall, or maybe further back to the nudes of last spring. One thing is for sure: we had it coming. Every designer you can think of has embraced the trend completely. Diane Von Furstenberg, Jil Sander, Louis Vuitton, Tory Burch, and Peter Som have all accepted the trend. The designer that has taken things further is Marc Jacobs whose collection was disco inspired with blocks of pink, orange, and purple all worn together. Even the hair at his show was color-blocked; the models were given orange and purple extensions. And then there was Gucci, where one look consisted of green harem pants, a purple tank top, and a tangerine jackets worn all at once. In my opinion, color-blocked separates are a safe investment because you can always wear one bright piece next season with a muted base.
