This Spring/Summer 2019 is all about neon green. It has been very prominent on the runway and the SS19 collections with the likes of Off-White, Saint Laurent and Mugler featuring statement neon pieces in their shows. We are sure that this trend won’t be disappearing anytime soon.

Usually, when we think of neon we picture the 80s, disco leggings, high-leg bodysuits, playful pink headbands, and leg warmers – or Madonna.
But the runway has put a modern spin on the trend by mixing neon green, animal print with sportswear and tulle ballgowns by Off-White. Saint Laurent had their FW19 runway dripping in UV as the models illuminated the dark room with neon tones. And, Mugler kept it daring but elegant with a lime green ruched bodycon dress from the Pre-Fall 2019 collection.
As well as being a massive hit on the runway, celebrities, and social media influences have been living for this neon moment. Blake Lively, Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid, and Kylie Jenner are just a few that have been eager to jump on the bandwagon.
