Staff Spring has sprung in a riot of color and design not seen in decades. An array of pinks from pale to fuchsia, brilliant greens from olive to lime, blues from soft to turquoise make a palette to complement any complexion or style. A slimmed-down silhouette, the addition of spandex to all things material and a penchant for the geometric create an interesting fashion view for spring and summer 2001. Shoes are taking their colorful cue from the clothes they are created to accessorize. A thinner heel, shallow box and sling-back are rigueur.
Lingerie is pretty, comfortable and taking full advantage of new fiber technologies.
Accessories and jewelry are reflecting the gold rush with mesh bracelets, necklaces and belts the hottest items. Scarves are adding color to last year's grays and blues. Rough-hewn stones, pearls and semiprecious jewels are the trend. Hoops are still hanging on ears worldwide. Menswear has taken on more color than last year, following the developing colorful look that women's wear has embraced for two seasons.
