A couple of weeks ago I enjoyed seeing the award-winning movie, Poor Things.
Bizarre and completely over the top, I found the combo of Holly Waddington’s eccentric costume design, brilliantly flaunted by the amazing Emma Stone, to be an exhilarating tour de force. Stone plays a character called Bella – almost all her outfits are unforgettable, but one that stood out for me was a cape, pac-a-mac style and brought out for emergencies. Striking in its yellowness, it echoed the yellow revival currently resurgent in both fashion and design.
Yellow, reminiscent of road signs and highlighters, has an inherent visibility that extends beyond the screen. From iconic artworks like Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’ to the memorable yellow gown worn by Rihanna at the Met Gala, yellow has etched itself into cultural consciousness. In the realm of flowers, daisies, sunflowers, marigolds, and daffodils – all resplendently yellow – bear names that resonate with familiarity.
Exploring the allure of yellow, one can’t help but be drawn to its associations with happiness, positivity, and optimism – qualities akin to sunshine. This radiant energy, whether reflected in art or infused into living spaces, has the power to transform and uplift. For those inspired to embrace the vibrancy of yellow, Resene ColorShops and the Resene website offer a comprehensive array of options, inviting you to immerse yourself in the joyous spectrum of this delightful colour.
