Some would argue that it’s street style where real fashion lives and breathes – not the runways and retail outlets that produce it. This is where consumer choices are readily evident, and one can get a sense of what real women are wearing. Right now, bright pink is pushing the hot button, alerting the industry to a trend that developed without an advertising campaign. Women of fashion capitals around the world are extolling the virtues of a bright shade of pink, whether they’re wearing it as an eye-catching accessory, or a dramatic pantsuit.
