Off Color

By Nia Elizabeth Shepherd

AFTER LAST SEASON'S Technicolor floral prints, something more graphic is back in style for spring. Blame it on the Edie Sedgwick revival or designers' sudden interest in movies from the 1960s, like Belle de Jour, but bold black-and-white patterns are turning up on everything from Williams-Sonoma Home's Chinoiserie dessert plates to Nicolas Ghesquiere's sought-after sandals. Even Fendi's hot new B bag is a must-have in white canvas with black patent-leather trim.
