Dept. of It Was Good While It Lasted:
Even the New York Times knows a good thing when they see one
Note how this subtle outfit is enhanced by small touches of neon
We’ve seen it coming for months. From the wacky kids at Misshapes to, well, the wacky kids at The Cobrasnake, it’s been creeping out of our vivid, party-oriented imaginations and onto our clothing. And finally, the New York Times is jumping on the neon bandwagon with this amusing, but thankfully educational, story:
Neon is a chemical element that produces a bright reddish-orange light when charged in a vacuum tube. But in fashion the term encompasses a family of fluorescent colors — basically anything bright enough to have once encouraged the wearing of sunglasses at night.
Thank you New York Times, for this explanation.
Also, just as a little bonus, you may read our full coverage of the Lamé Suspender Swimsuit that is pictured above here. May American Apparel continue to integrate nipples into more and more of its designs.
