The strongest advantage to the combination of white and black is that there is no wrong way to arrange the two. Since the classic tint and shade are so simple individually, it’s practically impossible to incorrectly marry them. This point was strongly shown on the spring/summer 2013 runways with practically every designer creating garments in patterns of black and white. Of course, no one did it more successfully than Marc Jacobs, with both Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton. He had everyone running for the graphic striped dresses at Marc Jacobs and cubed ensembles at Louis Vuitton. Karl Lagerfeld kept it classic Chanel mixing oversized white pearls on black strapless dresses for ready-to-wear. For Chanel’s couture collection, the trend was more subtle on dresses with black sequined bodices and white skirts. At de la Renta, every pattern of black and white was used, from floral to striped to polka dotted.
At Our Secret Designs, we believe that the joining of black and white is never wrong. Excited by the trends, we created our owns combinations with crystal quartz, wood, and onyx beads. If you’re bold enough to mix prints and patterns, complete a printed black and white ensemble with one of our necklaces from our “Onyx and Alabaster” collection. On the other hand, if the occasion requires a more demure look, let the necklace be the focal point of an all-black outfit. Whatever way you choose to go, keep in mind that spring/ summer 2013 is no time to play it safe. As we saw on the runways, it’s all about having fun and getting creative.
