White was everywhere last autumn as the spring collections came down the runway. From influential new designers like Alexander Wang (whose collection I am moderately obsessed with) to super-edgy designers like Rick Owens and Ann Demeulemeester to classic luxury designers like Bottega Veneta, Chloe and Thakoon – every was basking in the brightest of whites.
While, one one hand, I am utterly excited about such a shift in shading preference, one the other hand, white is scary! It can get dirty, and it reflects light, adding water can cause decades of psychiatric sessions… It’s just a scary color.

Being that I have little to no experience with white (I had a hobo purse once, it was covered in pen ink and coffee by the end of the week. Ah, youth.), I stuck away to the Vogue Spring/Summer 2011 archives for some inspiration. Below are my favorite style strategies...
