No longer regulated to preppy pastels, pink and green became fashion’s newest power couple when Raf Simons sent a bold frock down the Christian Dior fall 2014 runway that was minimal in design, maximum in effect.
His marriage of fuchsia and emerald (layered, sliced and pinned together with an embellished floral sparkle) charged the catwalk with a resounding pop. And like any commanding duo, this unexpected color pair has drawn a delighted following.
As evidenced by Charlotte Olympia’s structured handbag, Nars’ nod to Schiaparelli’s signature pink and Balenciaga’s jade floral frock, these hot hues are fall’s freshest surprise.
