Remember the neon craze (oh how could we forget)? Overnight from Hoxton club kids to filling the entirety of the lower ground level of Supre (translation Europeans: H&M but nowhere near as current). It was everywhere and it was sickly.
Mark my words, overkill this year will come in the form of the black and white check. Not only is it simultaneously on the New York runways, seen on the fashion forward of fashion blogs but it's only 10:48 am and I've seen it twice today already 1. the receptionist at Pacific Magazines and 2. underneath a mens jacket when renewing my very very expired licence at the RTA this morning.
Something has to be said about the pace at which this fashion thing is moving. If it's moving fast it means that we, the masses, are catching on quick. The fashion elite are not impressed, I'm sure they cringe at the 'democratisation' of fashion. No wonder Viktor & Rolf made a point of it in their A/W 08 Show. Us commoners are showing these designers up.
Check's older brother Plaid (seen from Marc Jacobs to everywhere) could also be a threat in the coming season, but there's just something about check. So easy, so applicable to any item of clothing - shirts, pants, skirts, ties. And it looks so damn smart.

So if you really wanna, (I do, I'm making a skirt, surprise surprise) do it NOW and do it quickly. But then be rid of it and sit back and snicker at all the victims. Shame.
