We are all so thrilled to have black and white as the lasted “IN” color for spring. But we seem to have forgotten about one person who wears this color everyday of the year! Is it possible that singer-song writer Janelle Monae could have single handedly inspired the current spring color trend of black and white? A style that the singer uses to pay homage to her mother who used to work as a maid while the singer struggled to make ends meet before getting her break in the music industry. And of course, who can forget the creative director of Chanel, Monsieur Karl Lagerfeld in his trademark black and white attire. You look at every turn today, including major awards red carpets and all you see is the black and white trend. It is very refreshing and elegant, a far fry from the lime green we saw everywhere last year. Here are a few notables you might have already seen but probably not in a collective form as this. You get to pick your favorite look. 🙂
