The Trend Report - All Things Bright are Beautiful

Head to toe brights along with boldly contrasting separates featured on the SS runways; not only brights as a total ensemble but neon bright accessories were also brought to the forefront and this is the perfect opportunity for translation into lingerie.

Bright outwear with neon peekaboos or the idea of having bright lingerie visible through sheer fabrics are the perfect way for lingerie to interpret the trend as part of an outfit. However, there is opportunity for the trend to be interpreted in other ways, with bright accents on lingerie designs or by mixing and matching bold and contrasting separates to create a rainbow of an underwear wardrobe.
Jill Sander, Etro and Gucci here demonstrate the rainbow bright, contrast colour blocking. A key aspect of this trend is the idea of breaking the usual contrasting versus clashing rule, varying tones of the same hue as demonstrated by the oceanic example by Etro; where clashing tones of turquoise are separated by a neon splash of a yellow belt.
Versus demonstrates the other way of styling the bright trend by pairing contrasting rainbows against black whereas MaxMara and Diane von Furstenburg show the hugely popular purple and orange mix.
Deborah Marquit's French Lace collection continues to hit the trend buttons by offering a choice of eye catching bright colours that are perfect as a neon bright accessory peeking from within an outfit. The option of mixing and matching contrasting separates within this collection is an easy way to interpret the rainbow bright trend with lingerie. Stella McCartney and Calvin Klein both have a large number of bright examples and Lascivious show neon accents on an other ways black set with the use of the sulphur yellow. Dirty Pretty Things has a brilliant cerise collection and juicy couture's pyjama set matches perfectly with this hue.
