Color Pop.

Celebrities embraced ultra bright colors that resulted in a few head turning moments. Jennifer Lopez let her wild side out in a mustard hued The 2nd Skin Co. leather dress for a screening of ‘American Idol’ in Hollywood. Not one to hide her curves, Sofia Vergara slipped into an impeccably fitted mint Michael Kors  sheath with sheer inserts for a guest appearance on “Good Morning America.” Looking young and fresh in head-to-toe tangerine, Solange Knowles attended the launch of Choo.08° in Beverly Hills in a skin-baring blazer and Acne Studios skirt. Karolina Kurkova made a dramatic entrance to the IWC – hosted “For the Love of Cinema” dinner in a colour-blocked draped dress from Roksanda Illincic and Greta Gerwig was a breath of fresh air in a hot pink and white tartan Chanel summer/spring 2013 dress at the Tribeca Film Festival Chanel party.

One of the top trends to come down the summer/spring 2014 runways last fall was super-saturated, poppy-colored lipstick. So, it was only a matter of time before some of our favourite celebrities busted out their brightest, boldest lip colours to celebrate spring being just around the corner. Three stars opted for a coral hue, and it’s getting us in the mood to refresh our makeup case.

From left, Krysten Ritter went for a true orange in a glossy formulation at the Veronica Mars premiere. Her costar in the film, Kristen Bell chose a more sheer, peachy version of the bold hue and balanced it with blush in the same shade. And finally, Lauren Conrad went for a high-shine, slick magenta-tinted orange to match her tangerine top.

Paris Fashion Week: Fall 2014 – 2015 Color Trends.

Parisian runways were full to bursting with vibrant and purposefully jarring colour ways like at Christian Dior, Miu Miu and Carven. Tone on tone silhouettes flush with the power of plain were linear and loose at Haider Ackermann, Viktor +Rolf’s Fall/Winter 2014 show was a study in shades of grey and at Rochas; the palette was a mingling of muted pastels woken up by jolts of colour courtesy of ruched leather gloves. On that note, these are some of the color trends from Paris Fall/Winter 2014 – 2015 runways.

A trend that transcends both evening and day, pink is a huge colour trend for outerwear from Celine, Mulberry and Miu Miu while slip dresses and shifts came in rosy hues at Nina Ricci, Lanvin and Jonathan Saunders.

Gothic Glamour.

From L-R: Missoni, Michael Kors, Lanvin and Saint Laurent

Autumn’s Gothic glamour lends its sombre palette to Spring in a shift to black. Think black for the day in sweet summer dresses and light weight layers.
Complex textures and couture detailing bring rich flavor to this new way of seeing as seen at Stella McCartney during the summer/spring 2013 show were delicate broderie anglaise took a sinister twist, while at Dolce and Gabbana gowns were all adorned with delicate daisies.
Try textures to soften the look, via ruffles and pleats, lace and embellishment.
For braver dressers, dare to bare in sheer lace panels or thigh high split gowns. Leave plenty of skin on show – slashed fronts, exposed midriffs and bare shoulders offset the moody palette and lighten the overall feel of summer black.

Pure White.

From L-R: Moncler Gamme Rouge, Sass and Bide, Moschino, Balmain and Emilio Pucci

White was one of the biggest color trends from the summer/spring 2013 collections as catwalks were awash with top to toe looks, a trend that is already cropping up on Hollywood’s red carpets. Many designers explored the soothing potential of white as an appropriate detox from the loud clashing prints and saturated color pops that punctuated Autumn outfits.
Top to toe white need not mean you look pure as the proverbial driven; add intrigue to your outfit by layering sheer fabrics as seen at Victoria Beckham, Emilio Pucci and Valentino or by wearing a colorful coat like Louise Roe, two tone shoes ala Alexa Chung for contrast.
Whether you are romanced by the broderie Anglais and pretty filigree fabrics seen at Valentino, Simone Rocha and Stella McCartney or the technical cottons at Marni, Chloe and Balenciaga. Whatever your trajectory, this is your blank canvas to run with.
