Fashion Week Favourites: Acne's Fluro Jumper

As you know one of my favourite things to do during the fashion week month is looking at what everyone is wearing and finding popular, if ephemeral, trends. Last week I posted about the Reed Krakoff bags at New York Fashion week but today it's all about a jumper.

If I am not mistaken it was Kanye West who was first spotted wearing the Acne fluro knit during London Fashion Week. I must say he did look great in it and wore it pretty much how I would have (sans golden chains, of course). The other spottings of people in the jumper also happened during LFW. Funnily enough, after Kanye having his moment a few months ago in a Céline womenswear chemise this time women took to the menswear Acne knit.

Even though I absolutely loved the head-to-toe 'hospital green' look I can't figure out whether these people already had a wardrobe full of pieces in this colour or if they went and bought them to wear a sort of 'underliner total look'. In any case, I would say that apart from neutral colours, this is probably the most chic bold one to do a monochrome outfit with.

I am not a very daring person when it comes to colour even though I do love doing a sort of 'understated colour blocking' in the summer. Maybe it's the influence of living in the UK for so long but I tend to have a hard time wearing colours that are too bold.

However, for the last few years I've had this fixation with 'hospital green'. It started with a Acne jumper I bought a few years back. I started wearing it all the time because I felt like it made muted outfits quite interesting. Then Davidelfin launched his SS10 collection with 'hospital green' as it's main future. I wanted the whole men's collection but I was too slow and couldn't get my hands on any.

A couple of months later I blogged about this picture of Olivia Palermo in a pair of stunning DVF shorts. I then loved how she worked with the tricky colour. And that was it for then. Until today, that is. This morning I found a picture of Fergie (totally overdressed for the airport) looking great in a full-lenght pair of PVC 'hospital green' trousers. The colour seems to work great with baby blue, which makes me want to wear my jumper with a blue Oxford shirt.

Who said celebrities don't help the people?

Last night I watched the first episode of Kell on Earth —which I recommend to anyone that truly loves the fashion industry— where Kelly Cutrone, amongst other things, organises David Delfín's SS10 fashion show at NYFW. This made me realise I have never spoken of David Delfín in soVIPzone. It might be that I take certain Spanish designers for granted because they were always there while I first started to learn about fashion. In any case he is someone to have in mind. He has been taking Spanish fashion forward for the last ten years and his SS10 collection deserves a mention because the colour palette was superb and the shoes (in collaboration with Christian Louboutin) awe-striking.

After having a new look at the collection my brain rapidly started looking for ways for me to get a hold of any of the pieces (I am inquiring about the shoes —not sure if they'll be going into production). Luckily, my birthday coincides with the beginning of the SS10 season and with the Easter break so I migh be flying back from Madrid with a couple of "hospital green" (as coined by Style.com) items in my suitcase. I would particularly die if a pair of green patent leather shoes were among those items.
