Liberty Ross Explodes off the Page in Spring Neon In Elle US, by Matt Irwin

Posted May 18, 2012

Enjoy the healing effects of neon-color therapy, with bold shades that are guaranteed to pull you out of any fashion-funk you may be suffering.  Often thought of as the “5150” of the style-world, these crazy-color combinations are now considered the go-to garb for those looking to be both haute & happy.  These are not the neons of the past, this is reinvention personified.  Ensembles that would have once deemed you hungry for attention, would now simply label you among the fashion-forward elite.  Liberty Ross Carries off this look with confidence, in the June issue of Elle Magazine, shot by Matt Irwin.  A fabulous fusion of bold primary colors, this trend is a distinct departure from last year’s hues, with a grand return to the original “crayola-colors” of childhood.  Gone are the varying gradations of shades mixed together for effect, or the ethereal, iridescent hues .  This season seems to be about the clarity of color, and the straightforward quality of bold choices.  In dynamic designs by Chanel, Dolce & Gabanna, Michael Kors, Ferragamo & more – Liberty shows us how effective this kind of color collaborations can be.
