The delicate blush palette was a common colour inspiration in a large number of collections – from pinks to blush to coral – this soft roselike shade is hinting at being the white of 2016. Donatella Versace rightly dubbed blush as “the new white” where instead of strong colours, she sent out her models in pastel coloured fur coats and dresses, the pale shade was seen on formal pant-suits at Max Mara, Escada and Jason Wu, on pristine lace gowns for Elie Saab’s eveningwear and No. 21’s baby doll dresses. Then there were satin slip dresses at Narciso Rodriquez, Dion Lee and Christian Dior which were minimal and reminded us of the 90s, blush long coats were popular at Brock and Derek Lam and embellished dresses with surface ornamentation were a norm at Monique Lhuillier, Jason Wu and Erdem.
