An eclectic and casual color combination which allows me to look perfect for every occasion.

Plastic is the star, sent down the runway by the great Karl over Chanel’s signature winter tweed suits and again for the spring collection, followed by Anya Hindmarch, Christopher Kane with a more romantic look, Valentino with a shorter, nearly leather jacket-style model, and Balmain with a more daring matching dress and overcoat. …

Straight from the Pantone Fashion Color Report, here is the list of the trendiest and most popular color trends that we’ve seen on the Spring/Summer 2018 runways, including my tips on how to wear them. Generally speaking, color trends can be split into two “factions”: for those who are fond of vivid colors, an intense color palette evoking Fauvist paintings; on the other side, pastel shades for light and romantic outfits. …

White, paired with blue, black and red… fun, ironic and joyful. Down the runway by Giambattista Valli and Emporio Armani. Loewe is more daring: the polka dots are huge spheres, in unusual colors (yellow and brown, black and orange) and spread over dresses and accessories. …
