Colour Blocks
explores this current fashion trend of bright, beaming clothing and uncovers how dressing in colour has pushed us to re-discover the world. Since experiencing a global pandemic, we have had the opportunity to re-connect with nature and our surrounding environments.
As clothing can be used as a form of self-expression and emotional release, this new ferocious trend has allowed us to leave mass-trauma behind and build the steps back up to feeling refreshed, energised and confident. No more feeling belittled or left in a rut, we head back out into the world with an upbeat, courageous stride.
