Once confined to danger zones, road cones and hunting vests, this borderline neon shade of orange has become one of the seasons standout accent colors. The blaze burned bright first at Duckie Brown on shearling gloves, pompom hats and heavy waxed jackets, and later in the week at Michael Kors with turtlenecks, scarves and even neckties. It flared up on various runways in between, including Marc by Marc Jacobs Fair Isle sweater and Y-3 by Yohji Yamamotos heavy, quilted jacket (pictured).<br>
