Yesterday was a truly dreary and bitter day in New York City (as they all have been lately, except for Super Bowl Sunday, because Pepsi paid for it to be warm, or something), but because fashion lives in an alternate universe, I was met by nothing but bright, eye-searing neon yellow when I opened up my browser to begin compiling post topics for the week. If you thought that, after season upon season of fluorescents, we might be on to something else by now, I have some bad news for you.
On the other hand, if you dig brights and love the power that neons have to make your tan look even deeper and darker, you’re probably going to dig what you see below. And lest we make assumptions, it’s not just youth-oriented contemporary brands who are hanging on to neons for another season; names as venerable as Gucci and Nina Ricci are still into acid yellow, and we could have done this entire post with Valentino products alone.
