We took to the boulevard on a challenge to find color blocking students, but it was easier to come across than we thought. With a nod to Thakoon’s Spring 2012 collection, we found it was more popular to incorporate small pops of color than a full on rainbow ensemble. We found the men sporting the trend perfectly. A confident attitude paired well. Michael Derbyshire said he combined blue and green with the hopes of “looking fly.” The most popular colors were contrasting hues such as pinks and blues. Everything from tennis shoes to bikes, campus was a sea of eighties brights.
