The days may have grown shorter and nights longer this season, but that gives you all the more chance to bring out the bright colours and shine in the crowd. Bright neons and fluorescents are all the rage these days.
In Greek, the word neon translates to “new one”. Circa 1898, neon was discovered and became an element on the Periodic Table. In 1930, huge neon signs appeared in Las Vegas to attract an audience. When Marilyn Monroe died in 1962, Andy Warhol created a piece of pop art with her face painted in various shades of neon.
It was the 1980s when neon became more than an element, a billboard or a painting. It appeared on clothing and became a wardrobe staple. A decade later, it reappeared as make-up, glitter and hair colour. Today, neon is the trend, a reinvention of ’80s fashion with a new attitude that is demure, but fun. While the ’80s meant outrageous and wild fashion, neon in 2012 equals happy and free. It represents a multi-faceted, colourful lifestyle and a bright attitude.
