Fashion Editor Wears Color for a Week After All-Black Uniform
A Vogue fashion editor, who typically wears only black, challenged herself to wear colorful outfits for a week, drawing inspiration from men's spring 2027 runway shows. The experiment involved wearing at least two colors and no black (excluding footwear). Looks were sourced from Celine, Ralph Lauren, Comme des Garçons, Willy Chavarria, and Auralee, with clothing borrowed from Net-a-Porter, Gap, and Cos. The editor documented reactions from colleagues, including laughter and a text suggesting lime green. By the end of the week, a friend remarked that red was 'high-key your color,' leading the editor to reflect on self-discovery.
