World of Fashion: Fashion trend: Pink Trend

With cooler temperatures comes a cooler colour palette for our fall wardrobe. We’re swapping our neons for deep navys and our primary colours for stormy greys. One colour we’re not quite ready to part ways with is pink- and it’s a good thing, because designers are embracing the bubblegum shade for fall’s new posh palette.

Gone are the fire-engine reds of Carven’s spring collection. The label is embracing powder pink for fall, offering a selection of shoulder bearing dresses and oversized coats in the ultra-feminine shade. Powder pink fashions made appearances at Blumarine as well, where the rosy hue was spotted on furs, blouses and wool pantsuits.

Carven’s covetable blush-coloured outerwear is rivaled by Mulberry, who sent pink overcoats down their Fall 2013 runway, offering a burst of femininity to an otherwise dim palette. Prada followed suit with a perfectly girly pink plaid belted coatdress for fall. Mugler took a step further offering furs saturated in the sweet shade, suggesting we wear our pink fashions through winter.

While some designers recommend keeping your pinks in line, others prefer to mix and match different shades of the ladylike hue. Jeremy Laing offered a selection of head-to-toe pink ensembles at his Fall 2013 show, combining bold berry hues with the softest pastel pinks. Diane Von Furstenberg and Paul Smith played the mixing game at their respective Fall 2013 shows as well. Both labels presented sharply tailored looks that saw the sweetest shades of rosy pink combined with jewel-toned fuchsias. Moschino Cheap and Chic are strong promoters of pink fashion this fall, with skirted ensembles on their fall runway blending fierce Schiaparelli pink with girlish candy-like shades.

Marc Jacobs suggests experimenting with metallic pink fashion this fall. The designer added edge to his Fall 2013 runway with a variety of shimmering pink getups. Tanya Taylor ditched pink’s girly undertones at her Fall 2013 show as well, offering a metallic leather moto jacket in the rosy hue.
