Color blocking is insanely abundant on the Resort 12 runways.  Color-wise, there is a lot of graphic black, white and bright.  The flourescent hues we’ve been seeing for about a year are still popping up everywhere, and in the case of DVF and DKNY, a softer more feminine palette balances the stark nature of color blocking.  This is a very bold, modern direction and can be mixed with print as well.
