Spring to Summer is the Season of Ripeness
06/26/2005
As for the young women, we're seeing a palette of colors that evoke highlighters, Lisa Frank stickers, Toucan Sam, and Stephanie on Full House: apricot, bright turquoise, bright lime, bright lemon, bright strawberry fuchsias, often swirled together like sickening stripes of sherbet. There is also the hideous and glassy-eyed wildlife, lacquered, stitched, and appliqued onto their hides - the brightly colored birds and fruits themselves, the plastic flora and fauna baubles dangling from the neck and the ears. The Vulture interprets all this to be a display of fertility, a tawdry proclamation that this is the season of heat, a neon sign screaming "I am produce!"
