Permiating the zeitgeist and splashed through the spring summer runways from Fendi to Chloe was bold orange accents. The hue is touted as the colour of joy and creativity. From Vivienne Westood’s rebellious orange coif to the colour that captured the bohemian spirit of the 70s orange has never been for the feint hearted. Hermes famous tangerine hue was born out of necessity - during the second World War the fashion house suffered a shortage of cream packing boxes and had to resort to bold orange ones instead thus coining the term “Hermes orange”. The colour comes as a welcome reprieve to tedious neutrals that have exhausted the life out of our instagram feeds. Psychologists recognise orange as a colour that illicits warmth and connection. Currently I find myself drawn to the top notes of orange in perfume captured in “Orange x Santal” by Essential Parfums, a fragrance swiftly thrusting me in to he sundrenched heart of the Almafi Coast. Not ready to embrace the colour from head to toe? Then why not just accessorise with woven Dragon Diffusion bag or a blouse from Italian Fashion house Momoni? Experiment with this accent of bohemian spirtited colour this season.
