There
is no way we can talk about fashion without a blast from the past
seeing as though just like history, fashion repeats itself.
Today's blast from the past is inspired by none other than, Phylicia Rashaad also known as Claire Huxtable from the Cosby Show!
Claire Huxtable was always dressed to the T!
In the images depicted above, she is modeling a trend that has recently made a come back: color- blocking!
What is color blocking?
Color-blocking,
is a method of pairing multiple solid colors in an
outfit. The outfit revolves around a palette of two or more colors,
usually in bold and bright shades. It is said that the best combinations
are complimentary colors, colors directly across
each other on the color wheel; analogous colors, any three colors next
to each other; or colors that form 90-degree angles
with each other. Lately, designers have been revisiting color-blocking
techniques and have created some exciting new modern styles. Here are
some examples of color-blocking for your viewing pleasure:
The
orange and purple garb below shows an example of the 90 degree angle
rule. I love how the outfit is able to shine due to the pairing of
neutral accessories. If the accessories were another bold color, the
ensemble would run the risk of becoming overwhelming.
