Spring 2011 Most Stylish Accessories

Almost all the collections of the spring-summer season are traditionally characterized by a wonderfully vivid and varied color palette (with the exception of designers who are not indifferent to a minimalist style – as for example, Calvin Klein). It is therefore not surprising that colorful accessories will be one of the main trends of the coming spring season – shoes and handbags, eye-catching courageous, bright, and often unexpected combinations of colors.

Many designers have decided on unusual experiments with color in the new season: for instance, shoes on “watermelon” green and black striped with bright pink soles could be seen on Prada podium, Manolo Blahnik took a combination of bright pink and electric-blue, while the Miu Miu collection had summer boots of almost acid green color.

Multi-colored bags in designer collections of spring-summer season 2011 – are also the rule rather than exception: Michael Kors orange color, Christian Dior’s bright pink with orange (and even with a purple handle), Hermes collections in general have stylish clutches of all the rainbow colors.
