The Color of Style for Fall 2010

BLUE-PLATE SPECIAL

According to Eiseman, Yves Klein blue is having a comeback because it speaks to a need for steadiness in an uncertain world. "The last time this color was so popular was at the turn of the millennium. We were optimistic but also a little uneasy, and ten years later, we're feeling that way again," she says.
