Boldness and Color...Thank You!!!!

This season I challenge you to do something different; step out of your comfort zone and get with the color trend! Bold colors  are one of the fashion trends this year, but many of my fashionista's have a problem with experimenting. I know that most fashion mags trumpet neutrals and black as fashion classics Icons; and color is usually frowned upon and considered trendy. However, several designers are changing the way that color is perceived and are introducing us to a pallet of energy and style. Look, I understand the apprehension, because sometimes when I go shopping to buy my wardrobe I also find myself migrating to neutrals and black... like a magnet. However, this season,  I am going to be more of an adventurer, experiment with colors and put those fashion magazines in their place! Fashion is about innovation and experimenting with what is considered off-limits. Designers are rewriting the rules by showcasing a collage of  bright colors in their spring 2011 fashion lines and tangerine is the color that is on top of the list. The Gucci Spring 2011 collection is a great example of this experiment with color. The collection has everyone talking. Gucci has really transformed it's brand this season by investing in innovation, color and energy. Gucci is not the only brand that is reintroducing boldness and color into our fashion dimension. Versace, Prada and Marni succumbed to the appeals for color as well and introduced some fantastic pieces on the runway . So fashionista's... take the plunge,  the plunge into the pool of experimentation and color!
