One of the most notable trends color-wise from New York's Spring 09 Fashion Week was the lack of color - we overheard a lot of mumbling about the shows looking "very Fall" which we think had a lot to do with the muted, sometimes morose, color palette.
Not that there weren't some bright spots here and there (more on that later), but isn't Spring about bringing back electric yellow after months of black coats on every back down Broadway? We think so.
