since we brought up the classic in fashion yesterday,
how about the classic answer when it comes to the favorite color.
blue? blue!
so maybe, it didn’t happen by accident that balmain chose this
color as a highlighter in the fall 2009 collection. within all the
black and white, it is clearly a statement.
but, wait a minute, we are not looking at bright blue t-shirts here.
this is like a sequins-dream come true (if sequins could speak up
about their dreams they would spend hours on talking about this dress).
so glittery and glossy, that you want to put it on your wall.
it certainly would brighten up the ambiance.
how clever! first you look at it and you think,
“ah…blue…you can never go wrong with it”. then, you realize
how catchy and sparkling it is. maybe you have second thoughts
like “would I ever have an occasion to wear it?”. but then,
and here comes the genius part, your focus  comes back to the
color and it is clear that “it is just perfect. it is blue, isn’t it?”

it is like someone asked you if you like croissants.
you agree. and then they show up with pains au chocolat.
