In 2006, Miranda Priestly illustrated fashion’s trickle-down theory through Andy Sachs’ cerulean blue sweater in The Devil Wears Prada and life was never the same again. “That blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs” – making it quite um…groundbreaking! 15 years later, cerulean is finding its way not only into celebrity wardrobes but also the S/S’22 runways and collections of brands like Prabal Gurung, Acne Studios, Stella McCartney, Balenciaga and more. The colour of the sky on a serene, bright sunny afternoon– it connotes hope for better days and offers an escape from the dark realities of the present times. Want to hop on the trend bandwagon? Here’s all the inspo you need:
