Some people blogged about polka dots while others tweeted about chic-country (yawn.) What I noticed? Head-to-toe ketchup and mustard hues. Sayonara BLACK, the one trend you can’t deny is that fall 2011 is all about colour. Haute Oscar Meyer aside, prospective trends will include colour blocking like it’s 1988; vibrant blues, greens, yellows, oranges, pinks and purples will mix, sometimes with each other, and other times with muted khaki, and grey tones. Designers such as Jonathan Saunders, Jil Sander and Milly will inspire outfits and street styles with colour layered upon colour. It’s exciting to envision Toronto’s colder months with such fresh vigour.
