[1]No, it wasn’t just the bob cut that Hollywood hottie Scarlett Johansson sported that got shutterbugs excited when she shot for the retail giant Mango’s ad campaign, rather the eye-popping colours caught everyone’s attention.
As spring is mostly about whites and if you are not much of a lover of everything pristine, you could try fruity hues that may put a spring in your step. Turquoise, daring fuchsias, delicious oranges, electric greens, salmon pink, bushy browns or even turmeric, take your pick and if you are a trend addict you can always add your own twist to things just like the lithe beauty Kate Moss. Newly engaged and raring to go, Kate shot for the Longchamp spring-summer 2011 in a delectable green apple coloured dress inspired by the 70s, as the ocean winds swept her blonde hair, freezing a beautiful moment in time.
“I think the key to using fruity colours lies in the stylist’s ability to balance the hues. Maybe a parrot green belt can be paired with rolled up capris and a striped shirt,” says designer Anjana Bhargav. Not many can do it up like Manish Arora, who has become the undisputed King of colours and now with international fashion houses beckoning him, he is ready to give them a taste of Indian spice. His “Circus” collection dexterously amalgamated bright hues with superbly tailored silhouettes. Much like Donna Karen’s new look that plays with ruffles and blended tomato reds with endearing beiges, paying a tribute to femininity and simplicity.
“I think fruity colours like watermelon, lemon, strawberry, mint are not just yummy, but they also make summer bearable and breathable. They are refreshing, sometimes artistic and most times whimsical and I like that they add a certain unpredictability to your ensemble,” says designer Poonam Bhagat. Bright and cheeky should be your mantra this season and if it is spring then A-line is undoubtedly the best way forward.
