In Paris this week, at the Premiere Vision international trade fair for clothing textiles and accessories where the global fashion industry go to each season to catch the latest must-know trends and developments, bright colours were presented as the key colours for Spring Summer 2015, especially yellows and greens in all hues and shades in the spectrum.  More on PV and its associated concurrent trade shows next week.



Back in London, we don't have to wait till next year to enjoy the optimistic colours while facing up to the dismal weather.

Danish brand Ilse Jacobsen have launched their new rain boots made in natural rubber in a selection of bright colours to add a dose of sunshine to our rainwear wardrobe.  They are available in three leg lengths - Knee-high, calf and ankle.



The handmade boots are well constructed and designed with intricate details such as a lining made of cotton viscose fleece to provide comfort, and performance-enhancing details to help combat the elements.  The natural rubber used for these boots are sourced from single-estate Malaysian rubber trees.  They have heat-insulated soles made of lightweight EVA.

Meanwhile at the National Gallery in London, two of Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh's celebrated Sunflowers oil-paintings are currently on show until April 27, providing much-needed optimistic boost for our spiritual enhancement.
