All of the things I could find in WWD or any sort of fashion newspaper/magazine were from 2011 or 2012, which has made it clear to me that this trend is on its way out. I've attached an article from style.com that says color blocking is on its way out. I couldn't find an article on this, but I've come up with an idea of my own as to how outside pressures influence this specific trend. I believe that colorblocking is tied to optimism. Colorblocking in itself is a very optimistic style, especially when it's done with color. It's very bold, playful, yet still whimsical and hopeful. I think that the reason it was popular in 2011 and 2012 was because that was right before the election and people were hopeful for a change.
