In the pink of fashion
From bubblegum Barbie, fuchsia to blush, shades of pink are taking the centre stage this festive season. “Pink represents love and happiness,” shares designer Gautam Gupta. He adds, “Wearing this colour not only makes one happy, but also the people around. It gives hope and positivity of good things to happen.” The hue is becoming a hot favourite among celebs, too, as they can be spotted wearing sarees, jumpsuits, tops to dresses in this shade.
If you are game for experimentation then pink is a great colour when it comes to colour-blocking, says designer Gayatri Khanna Sabharwal. She suggests, “Pink with red or orange is quite chic; with navy or black or grey it can brighten up even further. Opt for green when you wish to go for a natural palette.” She adds, “Monochromatic pinks in silhouettes like pantsuits, jumpsuits or a skirt and a blouse are also flattering. Go bold with pink patterns and break the patterns with a solid belt in a contrasting colour.”
Lastly, designer Aniket Satam shares that “pink is a hopeful and cheerful shade and it stands for all the happiness and joy of life”. He says, “After a gloomy two years (referring to the pandemic), shades of pink are symbolic of a wishful tomorrow.”
