I’m surprised to find how well yellow works on a range of skin colors. Contrary to popular belief, you CAN wear any color. That’s right, ANY and every color…just make sure it’s the right shade. There’s a big difference between lemon, mustard and neon yellow. However, if you search deep enough, you’ll find that perfect shade of sunshine that’s just right for your skin tone.

I love when fashion meets art. The hand painted Korean Hanbok below (first image) is the perfect example of how you can fuse culture, haute style and bold expression in a colorful way. From ruffled skirts to embroidered silk, yellow is sure to bring light and energy to your event.

And then of course, the sky’s the limit when it comes to citrus couture on the western runway from seasons past and present.

And that’s all for now. Stay tuned tomorrow for the sequel to our “Culture, Couture and Weddings” series. We saw some innovative bridal gowns from South Africa yesterday. Tomorrow? We’re off to the former Soviet Union. You won’t want to miss out.
