Vintage Vault of Color Blocking: Elle UK February 1986

Before this year’s hottest trend had a name model, Linda Evangelista, showed us how to color block in the Elle UK February 1986 magazine spread.

The editorial entitled “Silk Flies High” features a younger Linda blowing in the wind, almost as if she was flying into a colorful abyss. She looks so comfortable and carefree.

After viewing pictures like this, I had to ask myself “Was color blocking as popular in the 1980’s as it is now?” What are your thoughts?
