Over in London, it appears that life and color have been injected into Fashion Week once again. The Cut’s Youngjun Koo was busy snapping all weekend: Marianne Theodoresen’s rainbow hair, Alexa Chung’s two-toned leopard spots, and Susie Lau’s expert pattern-clashing. With the weather a bit chillier and grayer overseas, it seemed like all the street-style regulars wanted to pop out against their new backdrop. They’ve tossed aside their standard black-and-white uniforms for coats and tops in every shade of pink — from baby to fuchsia to deeper berry. Subtle polka dots and eyeballs also made an appearance, and be sure to check out Hamish Bowles’s coat.
