Celebrity and fashion trends: Block colours
We’ve been raving on about the block trend ever since we spotted it on the Spring/Summer 2011 catwalks.
The likes of Julian Macdonald and Chanel championed this trend in their collections, combining contrasting and darker hues.
And it seems this trend is set to stay with the likes of PPQ and Gwen Stefani’s LAMB label also showcasing this look at their AW 2011 shows. To be in with the colour block trend his season you only have to look at the likes of Cheryl Cole and Rihanna who have been working this look over the recent weeks.
Go for bold secondary colours on the top and bottom like both these ladies, or give a nod to the look with a bright belt. Failing that a contrasting bright cardigan over an equally bright frock will also help channel this look.

Celebrity and fashion trends: Navy Blue as seen on Amy Adams, January Jones and Alexa Chung
Once a lowly contender to its bolder black and white cousins, navy blue was often left in the shade when it came to red carpet frocks and catwalk looks.
However this season it’s stepped out of the fashion wings, making a name for itself as the hot trend of 2011. Celebrities such as Alexa Chung, Amy Adams and January Jones have embraced this shade on the red carpet, while the likes of Armani have made it a must have summer colour thanks to catwalk designs.
And just in case you thought this was a one off look then you’re wrong because it looks as though this shade is here to stay thanks to designers such as Lanvin making it a key colour in their AW 2012 looks too.
See the gallery below for all the hot navy blue looks.
