Colour Blocking is one of my favourite current fashion trends & it is EVERYWHERE right now. So many design houses picked up on this trend & have created their own interpretations. Pictured above are some of my favourites from the catwalk.
Prabal Gurung gives us a lesson in taking colour blocking to work. Using the uniform below-the-knee pencil skirt & reproducing it the brightest shade of yellow, this uplifting combo has the power to make anyone look forward to a day in the office!
Going for a more relaxed wearable style is Japanese designer Issey Miyake. A simple blue shift dress & light chiffon indigo cover up is the perfect ensemble for an evening stroll in Cannes.
Proving that the colour blocking trend doesn't just apply to the brightest of brights, the fashion powerhouse that is Marc Jacobs has given us what I like to call Boho Blocking! Muted colours & peasant tops have been given a modern twist.
Giambattista Valli is another example of how using two different fabrics can add intensity to the colour blocking trend. I'm a big fan of the red/pink combo. This would look amazing on the likes of Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts with her pale skin & fiery hair.
Finally, my favourite two colour blocking catwalk looks come from Gucci. This season the Italian design house stepped it up & made the fashion pack take note. Cocktail dresses, jumpsuits & separates all featured in the S/S collection in a range of jewel tones all tied together with a metallic gold waistband. Simple, Sophisticated, Stunning! The last look on my list is exactly how I imagine Mrs Mills of The Sunday Times Style Magazine would look this Autumn when the cold sets in. Darker, dramatic tones in chiffon, faux fur & silk topped off with shades & a wide brimmed fedora. Loves it! :) xo TBC
