Under the heading 'Things You Cannot Tell Just by Looking at Her,' apparently Miuccia Prada has been known to favor fluorescent underwear. I find myself surprised by this. Also thoroughly charmed.
Neon fluorescents have been throwing a party in their own little corner of the fashion scene for a while and Spring 2012 sees the trend blow up, hitting both high and low. Bright (brite!)
colors are interpreted in a range of tones, some less electric but no
less interesting, appearing now in playful pairings and complex, unlikely mixes.

Whether you go all out with electric-kool-aid-acid color, or gravitate toward a slightly softer, more plastic-fantastic hue, there's a bright color for every taste. Consider a single pop played against warm neutrals this season—it's the
freshest take yet.

I'm so excited to be playing with these great colors. Stay tuned for a new line of fluorescent-popped Framed Mesh works: rich, enameled finishes in complex color combos for your palette-mixing pleasure!
