THE COLOR BLOCK TREND SETTERS! Fall 08!!

A color-blocked Agyness Deyn, of course......

Of all the fall 08 trends, color blocking a la the 1980s has got to be the most fun. Take primary colors and layers, vintage mixed with a few new pieces, throw it all together and hello beautiful. Bold, awesome and full or energy all take the fall through Spring 09.

Ms. Obama flawlessly pulls it off on the road


While fashion critics complain of Michelle Obama's red and black Narciso Rodriguez dress on victory night in Grant Park, I must whole-heartedly disagree. Our new first lady (!!), Ms. Obama, has a certain style that rings true with the bold '08 color-block fashion trend-- and THANK GOD-- that Michelle knows how to take a risk and OWN it since the White House could use that energy after a dodgy eight years... Above, Ms. Obama showcases the fall color trend with blocks of yellow, electric blue and white.

So all complaints aside, a major lesson for men and women alike: YOU wear the clothes, the clothes dont wear you. Take a lead from Ms.Obama's best accessory-- her outrageously glowing smile. She could wear sweats and still look radiant and thats just killer!
