As you can see by the lovely Blake Lively in her banner, CC adores yellow! So naturally she's thrilled that it's sticking around for fall. Though a few designers were bold enough to throw some canary looks into the ring (and a couturier or two opted for pale yellow), for the most part, this sunshiny hue has really mellowed out for fall. Think mustard and saffron, in fabrics ranging from wool to leather to velvet! The runway portion of this post is divided by hue.

If you're feeling daring, do the bumble bee thing, as at Betsey Johnson (CC adores those thigh-highs!)
THE FLUORESCENTJean Paul Gaultier Couture
THE MUSTARDChristian Lacroix blouse detail
CC feels that the designer who did it best this season was Carolina Herrera. How stunning is this fringed dress? 
Carolina Herrera's asymmetrical gown is also a winner. Pair this shade with houndstooth, rich chocolate browns, or denim.
One of the standout looks of the season: Balenciaga yellow velvet top

ReplyDeleteI'm actully in entertainment law for music so I'd work for a recond label. I love it ♥
I'm loving yellow too. I think it can be hard to find the right shade for me. Canary = possibly. Mustard = disaster. But so glad it's carrying through Fall. Yellow just makes me happy.

ReplyDeleteegg yolk yellow
ReplyDeletelemony yellow
mustard yellow

I was looking through the images and thinking mustard (olive greenish yellow) is my colour. I really am too lazy with colours (opting usually for black, grey, brown etc..). I should really try more colours as you suggest. I really digg Jaeger London self-belted suit. wish I could try that to see if I could actually pull it off! I might have to look around for a matching bag.
LOVE the shades of yellow, they look amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh I like the yellow black combination!
ReplyDeleteI loooove the manolos, and the AA socks! Your blog is ace, by the way :)
ReplyDeletewww.sheshakesinwonderland.blogspot.com
I'm also very happy that yellow is one of the fall colours.
ReplyDeleteAnd my dear CC how gorgeous collection you presented, must say that my favorite is the Carolina Herrera's fringed dress.
Love the mustard shade, but also the brighter ones, and the combo with gray and black.
xoxo
I really like those D&G booties - hot!
ReplyDeleteI really like yellows too... How do you feel about black and yellow worn together? I do it, but sometimes I feel like a wasp.
Great post, thanks for sharing. Keep it up!
