Yellow was the biggest player on the scene at RAFW and was the first look past the post at the recent Chaenl Cruise show. Not just any yellow, mind, this isn't a fluoro nu-wave offering of an egg-yolk rich kind of shade. For this coming season the yellow is going to be bright but not bold, sweet but not saccharine, rich but not extravagant. In short, this is a canary, buttercup, daffodil kind of yellow. Cheery and welcoming you with open arms. I don't actually own any yellow clothing at all - I'm more of an orange girl at heart - but a fter the raft of yellow looks that paraded down RAFW catwalks and now seeing it at Chanel my little mind is ticking over. Imagine a little yellow suit with flat sandals, the perfect wayt to tackle office dressing in a fashion-y way? Or a weekend casual look consisting of your usual neutral-brilliance with a milky lemon yellow scarf? And, as Talisa point out, it goes so well with navy.
I think the material point about yellow is that it embodies the word spectacular. It is easy to align a colour with a word - red is sexy, pink is girly, black is soulful, white is pure. There are shades of grey (geddit?) on either side of these alignments of course - pure can easily run into soul-less as it can dilute down to sinful. But mostly your knee jerk reaction to a colour is the one that it truly represents. I saw Water for Elephants tonight (oh Rpattz, you will forever be Edward Cullen, unfortunately), and there was a lot of yellow in that movie. There is a lot of yellow in everything that hopes to make an impact - from the Wizard of Oz to the Olympics - and that is because it is a show-stopper of a colour. Spectacular, spectacular. Why not make an impact?
