So the great, the good and the not so great or good are constantly telling me/us that colour blocking is back in a big way this summer. Well, such information tends to make me either run for the hills, or stay and stick my tongue out/dig my heels in/yawn dramatically/stick my nose in the air.
However, i) I like colours, blocked or not and ii) this spread from Vanity Fair (July 1971) shows me how it *should* be done, courtesy of the likes of Foale and Tuffin and Mr Freedom, in true Glam Rock style.

Yay, I have those same Biba boots! Gonna pinch your scan for my files if that's ok!? x
love the Tuffin and Foale ….I had a coat in those colors c. 1970, blue with big rings around the armholes. I bought it in Margate market…think it was a Wallis knockoff (or fell off the back of a lorry) Wish I still had it.ps beret to match with a yellow flower applique
I too tend to avoid the trendiest thing as to not look like a fashion victim follower! I love how you show the proper way to execute the style, haphazard this look isn't!
Those yellow socks are just..I want them.
'This season', is it…pshaw to the Great And The Good, 'colour blocking' has been my way since I was old enough to choose my own outfit for my schoolfriend's birthday parties. I love the bright sun hat, might have to scour ebay this evening for some floppy headwear in a suitable hue…
One word…AWESOMENESS!Hope you've had a fabulous Easter break.Take care luv,Jem…xXx
