Have you noticed that more and more color is seeping into our accessories? Even the most high-fashion of sunglasses designers have infused their look with color, check out Prada, for example. It is almost as if our clothing has become more bland, fashion-less and stark while our accessories take up all the weight of our lagging clothing fashion.


During fashion week this year many were sourly disappointed. There was little innovation in clothing, and many designers simply looped back to previously well received designs, like polka dots and plaid, both of which have been covered already! Innovation in designer clothing has reached a new low. Where clothing is lagging, however, accessories are soaring! Designer sunglasses, wallets, shoes and to a lesser degree bags, have all skyrocketed in creativity. Check out Oliver Peoples, Dior, D&G, Versace. All of the biggest names in high fashion accessories have added color!


Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars are donning color to hide the fact that their clothing designs have not changed in several seasons. How are they expected to stay hip and modern when clothing designers have all experienced designer’s block? Where clothing lags, accessories are favored. Get the look in 2009 by wearing plain or simple clothing fashions in black, grey or denim and then adding sparkles of color with a nice watch, designer eyewear and stunning shoes. Check out some classic designs in bold colors, like the recently released colored Ray Ban Wayfarers or the ever modern Jackie- O designs in bold red and blue. Similarly, Kanye West has brought simplicity back into eyewear with his love of the traditional designs in color.
