Think yellow, floral, checks and boho this spring and summer – and don’t forget bags
MELLOW YELLOW
In a year when the #MeToo movement had actresses forgoing colour for black at many of the major awards ceremonies, it is somewhat surprising that this hue that came to represent solidarity should be missing in action on the catwalks.
On many runways, we saw a riot of colour, from scarlet and pink to orange and cobalt blue. But most prevalent of all was yellow – which was ubiquitous in every incarnation, from buttermilk to canary.
Chanel showed tweed suits and dresses in vibrant yellows. Escada had buttercup-coloured raincoats over yellow and pink dresses while Ulla Johnson had daffodil-yellow denim jumpsuits and floral-print yellow silk dresses. At Carolina Herrera, yellow and white was the colour palette of the day – canary jackets with floral appliqué and buttery A-line skirts that were instantly reminiscent of summer.
