Simply
call it Black and White or give it the latest ‘it’ term ‘Monochrome’; the
classy two-tone look has made an appearance back at the runways and streets.
Big names like Balmain, Chanel, Valentino and Marc Jacobs have all stirred up
the runway with Monochrome through their A/W2012 and S/S2013 collections. And why
not? Since in this sea of trends it’s hard to differentiate yourself, black and
white sets you apart effortlessly. After facing the print storm of Spring
Summer 2012 fashion weeks, B&W runway trend has acted like a cleanser in
the chaos.
Play with contrast accessories while
keeping B&W in the background. The tint of colour will make the colour
stand out. You don’t have to pull out all your big guns for those special
dates. Just finish the duo with bright lips, some gold-tone jewellery and
pulled back hair to make a bold statement.
