- Wow. The Science Museum is kind of cool. It’s too bad it’s stuck between the Natural History Museum and the Victoria & Albert. I bet no one knows it’s here.

- Wait. Stam is in London?

- Really? That Prada lace rip-off is worse than Zara’s, and will be about a year too late.

- Whoa. Jourdan Dunn is just so pretty. So is the white dress she’s wearing.

- Hmm. Everyone in the front row is texting. The clothes aren’t that bad.

- OK. They’re not very exciting either, but they are super pretty.

Traditionally a taboo color combination, the pairing of orange and black dominated the runways for Fall 08. Orange accents paired with black ensembles made bold appearances, seen in the high collars at Prada and the opaque tights at Alessandro Dell’ Acqua.

Aquascutum, Christian Lacroix, Gaultier and Narciso Rogriguez reversed the new combination, swapping out the traditional little black dress for more vibrant orange creations paired with opaque tights in black and burnt orange.

Moschino Cheap & Chic did their own version of Halloween-chic with a black and orange printed coat, and Comme des Garcons took the trend to new heights with a voluminous tulle skirt and top, finished off with black tights and dreadlocks.

We’ve always considered black and orange to be a spooky combination worn only on the day of the dead, but since it’s now a runway trend, will we start seeing it on all the other days, too?
