DRINK THE PINK

Hello, Barbie? Sorry, I’m afraid we’re reclaiming pink

From Barbie, baby or bubblegum to cotton, coral or carnation, and even Persian, pastel and peach, there is one colour to be seen in this season, and it’s about as far from the monochrome trend of yestersummer as it gets. The unapologetic, bright and kooky pinks championed by Alessandro Michele at Gucci put the shade firmly back on our fashion radar. Now it’s a style staple of every fashionista worth her sartorial salt. Clash pinks with other pinks or even red and magenta, and pair with patent white boots for serious style points. Trust me: once you’ve experienced the rosy reception, there’s no chance you’ll be going back to black.
