Just when I’ve sworn that my eyes can not bare anymore neon for at least another decade, comes a mouth-watering editorial, entitled “Love on Top of Love”, from the 77th issue of Oyster Magazine shot by Christoper Katke that leaves me in utter lust. I am a sucker for vibrant colors but the last year has been quite abusive of them in the urban realm of style (or non style). The mix of the Balenciaga florals with the vintage brights of Sonia Rykiel and Dolce & Gabanna and the 80’s architectural haircuts are so on point and yet better than ever before.

FWD is reporting that “Sonia Rykiel has pulled the plug on her nearly two-decade old men’s line Rykiel Homme, effective following the Spring 2009 collection which will be shown in Paris in July. ‘After 18 years of existence, menswear has not exceeded five percent of total sales and is losing money,’ Nathalie Rykiel, brand manager and daughter of Sonia, said in a statement. The line, which launched in July 1990, is being abandoned in an effort to concentrate on the women’s and children’s collections.”
