New Trend on the Block…
Thursday, January 20th, 2011Colour blocking is THE big thing for S/S11, and was spotted popping up all over the catwalks at fashion shows from London to New York. So this means it’s time to put your little black party dress to the back of your wardrobe and embrace the most colourful palette of clothes we have seen in years – plus it sure is a fun way of dragging yourself out of the ‘January Blues’ and brightening up your wardrobe! Whether bold, bright, clashing or complimentary – this is a trend set to take the shops by storm.
Colours catching the eye of keen fashionistas are blues, oranges, purples and pinks, and were the top choice of designers such as Marc Jacobs, Versus and Gucci at the S/S11 shows, not forgetting one of the biggest colour blocking trend setters of the season – Giles Deacon.

For a subtle color block outfit – layer muted or pastel shades of clothing, or be daring and combine neon pinks with bright oranges – as long as it’s blocked, it’ll be bang on trend!
Too in love with your black basics but don’t want to miss a beat on the fashion pulse? Then dress them up with some eye popping colour block jewellery – perfectly created by Giles.
2011 is set to be a colourful year!
