  1. Oh la la! None of those colours here in this wet Sydney autumn. Just a sea of black and grey.

  4. This is a time warp! I had an identical Courrege outfit as a teenager, with Gogo boots to match, and bikini for beach parties...I had one outfit in fluo orange and a subdued (!) one in white. i loved everything Courrege...

  10. Wow! What powerful pops of color. You've inspired me to eschew the blacks and grays today and wear the brightest in my closet.

  16. Vibrant colours! but I wonder if they will actually be seen on the street so Paris.
    I remember reading about a Fashion editor attending at a Fashion show - she wore brown because at the time it was touted as the new black- but on arriving at the parade - all the other editors were wearing black or grey of varying shades!!

  19. Oh Wow! They are brighter than traffic lights! Wonder if they would have the same effect on the traffic?

    Love them, brighter the better.

  20. Wonderful bright colors for spring. I remember Courreges from when I was quite young. I love these bright colors but I'm not so sure I would wear them head to toe. Fun post!

  21. Fun! You know, I was at my niece's first communion on Sunday, and I saw a woman there in a gorgeous dress that combined these colors. It was cerise on top and a slightly more burnt orange on the bottom in very simple sleeveless style. I thought, "Wow, it's not often that I get inspired by someone's outfit in a church!" But she was really rockin' that dress. :D

  22. The colours are delicious Vibrant and fun like candy!

  23. They are something else! Not sure I could get away with either the colour or length of skirt, but if I could it would certainly make it easy for my kids to spot me in the playground at pick up time!!

  24. So wonderful!

    I have a vivid memory of watching a chic American mother and her young daughter shopping at that very store.
    The mother tried on two identical a-line go-go style dresses, one in light pink and one in baby blue.
    Upon her little daughter's approval, she promptly bought the pair.
    It was a delightful Parisian moment.
    Cheers, Alcira

  25. These suits remind me of the uniforms the Concord hosties wore in the 70's. Not sure what colour they would have been 'cos we only had B&W telly. Ah the 70's, we certainly had to use our imagination in that B&W age! These are truly gorgeous, the Fuschia Pink for me please.
