Hyper Color

It has been a long time since we have seen color like this on the runway. The combination of wild saturated colors looks almost as if designers this year took out a crayon box, threw it against a wall of sketches and called it a day. Many designers incorporated color ranges in their S/S 11 shows that I have never seen before. Alexandre Herchcovitch showed a color palette so bright that his runway models had to wear sunglasses down the catwalk. The normally neutral Haider Ackermann incorporated vivid blues and intense reds with his usual blacks. Will hyper color stick around for seasons to come, or will it be a repeat of the neon fiasco of 2009?
