Orange You Glad That Orange is the Next Big Thing?

You know what blows about winter - aside from the fact that it's freezing out and we all put on about 15 pounds from eating stew and sitting on our couches in sweatshirts and sweatpants? The fact that it's grey and miserable for months on end. Well, we're here to put a stop to that - because even if it's ugly outside, there's no reason we can't brighten things up with some pops of color. And the trend seen all over the Spring 2009 runways was orange, orange, orange. The shade showed up in all versions, from bright and rich at Lanvin and Louis Vuitton to muted at Chloe. A jumpsuit at Akris was a lovely shade of persimmon, while John Galliano sent out at least 10 outfits the color of orange Popsicles! Check out the pics of these looks below...
