If we take even a quick glance at the Spring or Fall 2012 runways, the undeniable presence of neon is glowingly apparent. Designers such as Rodarte, Nanette Lepore, Jason Wu and Peter Som featured highlighter hues in their designs. Closer home, designers like Pia Pauro, Priyadarshini Rao and Ritu Kumar are hailing neon’s comeback in fashion.
In the ’80s, the desire to dress up in a manner resembling a glow-stick was not avant-garde, it was IN. Plastic jellies, neon spandex and fluorescent, neoprene fabric dominated until the early ’90s. Now, neon is back — but in a much more subtle context. This bright trend is best enjoyed in small doses: think tribal print kurtis, leggings, hot pink nail paint, a bold yellow belt or a neon green clutch.
Neon accents are being seen in the form of a single, blinding accessory against an otherwise neutral ensemble. The trend has manifested itself in many different and personalised applications, from a pair of neon-bright high heels with jeans and a blazer to a neon-painted statement necklace.
