The BLACK and WHITE of Fashion

The runways have sparked a return to the stunning simplicity of black and white. But the trend comes with a twist - black and white comes with playful patterns and textures. From red carpet glamour, to casual chic, celebs have noticed too.

White carries the light and has a high vibration - those who wear it tend to be very spiritual. By contrast, black has an absorbing vibration, giving it the ability to absorb energy rather than reflect it.
- Joe Lupa and Jesse Garza, co-founders of Visual Therapy.
