Behind the scenes of "Bright Diamante"
If you are the sort that finds wearing colour daunting, you definitely have to watch the “Bright Diamante” short film from Gucci. The Italian fashion house has gone full technicolour for its pre-fall collection that’s best showcased in this minute-long vibrant romp.

The trick to pulling off wearing colour on colour is to keep the shapes streamlined and overall look minimalist. But if the video doesn’t convince you that colour is the way to go, the least you can do is to add a pop of colour to your all-black outfit.
One of the handbags from the pre-fall 2014 Bright Diamante collection will inject that right amount of pizzazz. The leather arm candies are embossed with the diagonal Diamante pattern from the 1930s Gucci archives and updated in an array of bright colours for the new season.

The classic shapes – bucket, clutch, top-handle bag, bowling and the Boston – have been shrunk into modern mini sizes. Equal parts practical and statement making, these lightweight bags will fit seamlessly into your wardrobe and lifestyle.
My personal favourite is the mini bucket-style shoulder bag – so cute! - in red that I suspect will be my summer staple with denim cut-offs.
