19.08.2013- Pretty in Pink

If there's one new season fashion story which is already making waves in the shops then it's undoubtedly the return of the pretty pink colour palette. Pops of pink were the order of the day at a solid number of AW13's catwalk presentations (most notably at Carven, Miu Miu and Mulberry), so it's perhaps no surprise that we're already seeing bursts of fuchsia, dusky rose and candyfloss colours making their way into the shops. Whilst I have to confess that I'm still holding out for a few key pieces to appear over the next few weeks, I'm definitely feeling inspired by this colourful take on autumn- especially as styled in the latest issue of L'Officiel  Netherlands:

Here I love the simplicity of the shot composition- it really lets the clothes come to the fore. The styling also more than proves that wearing pink doesn't instantly meant that you're destined to fall into the 'girly' trap- keep things simple, create a juxtaposition between colour and silhouette- as seen here with the trouser suits- and you're well on your way to thinking pink as the new season approaches.

Have you picked up any pink purchases? And how are you going to be embracing the trend?
