Features / Summer item Fashion goes highlighter for summer
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 3:45 PM
The 80s are coming back full force for the summer. In fact, with all of the bright neon colors blinging in the malls nowadays for summer, you practically need you some shades to shield you from the highlighter colored attack.
From the LA Times:
Summer's shocking color palette isn't for the timid. Flashes of neon are adding a sporty feel to warm-weather dressing that's a throwback to the roots of Southern California beachwear. Think Body Glove, Camp Beverly Hills and Sarah Jessica Parker's SanDeE* character in "L.A. Story." How could we not do this shoot at Venice Beach?British designer Christopher Kane was onto the trend a couple of years ago when he showed tube dresses in highlighter shades. But neon didn't really make its mark until this spring with Alexander Wang's boyfriend jackets in "Miami Vice" brights, DKNY's sporty anoraks and miniskirts, and Louis Vuitton's Pop Art Stephen Sprouse collection totes (pictured above) and shoes.
Apparently, if you want to be hip and trendy this summer, your clothes and accessories should scream for attention. Hey, I'm not hating.
