Fall 2009 New York Fashion Week: Blaze of orange

Once confined to danger zones, road cones and hunting vests, this borderline neon shade of orange has become one of the season’s 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 Yamamoto’s heavy, quilted jacket (pictured). — Adam Tschorn More in Image: • Menswear takes a defensive stance with grays, metal and plenty of zippers • Fall 2009 NYFW trends: Getting closure • Fall 2009 NYFW trends: Metal shop • Fall 2009 NYFW trends: Fight club • Fall 2009 NYFW trends: Blaze of orange • Fall 2009 NYFW trends: Gray stoked
