Black is Back!

Last week, I walked around Knightsbridge to see what's on the shop windows and found a lot of vibrant colours. Most high street and middle range designers had bright pinks, purples and royal blues. Those among who displayed colours were H&M, Zara, Benetton (of course), bits from Harrods, Gap, Jaeger and DKNY.

This week I went to Sloane Street to see....my favourite colour....BLACK!

Scrumptuous display from Chloe, Armani, Emilio Pucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Chanel were on Show. Can't help but stare and admire the classic designs detailed with eccentric creativity.

Indeed Black is Black and is back and here to stay!

See the photos for yourself and you do the evaluation.....

What's new in Oxford Street, London this week

This week as I walked from Marble Arch to Selfridges, I took a few snaps of what's on display in the fashion district on London.

Here I found bright vibrant colours such as bright yellows, shocking pinks, vibrant reds and purples.

The common style was the sexy punk but some futuristic 80's as well.

The rain poured down and I stopped at Selfridges where the display was not just mere futuristic 80's but uber futuristic window display fast forward to the year 2109, that is 100 years from now. It resembles the colours assigned to the futuristic 80's with more extreme headwear and accessories. Selfridges is well-known for its window displays and hence the most creative of the crop has to come up with something unique and striking every time.
