Obama looks amazing, says Reina Lewis, professor of cultural studies at the London College of Fashion. Its a fabulous dress. But on her skin nude is revealed as a colour rather than neutral.
Indeed it seems misplaced to think of these shades as neutral, when the debate makes clear that this trend is anything but. Pantone, the world-renowned authority on colour, may have a nude shade, thereby conferring a certain official acceptability on all those magazines usage of the term. But then another N-word was once commonly used in clothes catalogues to describe a chocolatey shade of brown. (Yes, THAT N-word.) Will nude one day strike us as equally horrifying?
