With the new Terminal 5 opening at Heathrow, all eyes are on prolific Brit architect Sir Richard Rogers. The fashion-obsessed among of, of course, are almost more interested in the man's unique personal style: he is rarely seen without his signature punchy bright colors. And indeed, liberal shots of rainbow hues were all over the runway for Spring/Summer.
Being more of a gray-on-gray kind of girl who was super happy this winter to learn that it is now OK to "tone down" navy blue with black, news of this latest trend was enough to induce night sweats. But I've found a solution in bright accessories. B
udget-friendly Nine West has done a fantastic job this season with strappy snakeskin-effect sandals, bangles, and glorious seventies-luxe oversized fold-over clutches.
For the luxury hounds among us who are more literal in their rainbow-chasing, Fendi offers an amazing technicolor dream-bag that costs the proverbial pot of gold, though the trend may be as ephemeral as its inspiration.
A more permanent investment might be Hermes' fabulous Clipper Chrono Diver in iconic orange. It's gorgeous, and would provide a surprise flash of color in an otherwise neutral outfit, or a daringly clashing counterpoint for other vivid tones.
And remember, if it all gets a bit intimidating for you, as Diana Vreeland famously decreed, “Pink is the navy blue of India.”
