We’ve seen the loud and lurid hue prevail at Afterpay Australian Fashion Week, frm the runway to the tracks of Carriageworks. Dopamine dressing shows no sign of slipping from being in vogue, and it’s clear to see one standout colour demands all eyes — yep, you bet we’re talking about ‘Parakeet Green’, or ‘Bottega Green’.
Why not inject some sporadic colourplay into your everyday?
The sheer vibrance and statement-making capacities of a bright-green hue on your body, your arm or your feet makes occasion dressing that much easier. Perhaps you’re bold enough for a green-on-green look, layering the hue in multidimensional tapestries and gilded accessories. Or, you might be seeking a dash of colour to supercharge tonal attire, from adding a classic Cassette bag to structured tailoring, or trading a monochrome party dress for something out-there from Marine Serre.
Under Matthieu Blazy’s leadership, Bottega Veneta’s signature green prevails. And at Harrolds, it’s clear to see other internationally-acclaimed designers are following suit. Here are some of our favourite wardrobe additions to introduce this cult hue into your daily dressing repertoire. Life’s too short, so why not inject some sporadic colourplay into your everyday?
