This season's A/W has a slightly different trend to usual. Pastels aren't traditionally known for making an appearance on the runway for the colder months but it seems they have this time. We are used to always seeing pastels on the runway for S/S and this trend shows no sign of coming to a halt. Designers are going for the powder tones from spearmint to violets, lemon and sky blues, fondant pinks, bubblegum pinks and mints. I'm loving the fact that skirt-suits are making an appearance on the catwalk as seen in collection from Simone Rocha.
Topshop Unique's Autumn/Winter collection channelled the pastel palette through the colours peachy pinks and sky blues contrasted with blood reds and blacks. I think the look of faux fur is so sophisticated and I'm glad it's made this trends runway because it really brings to life the catwalk in my opinion.
I was browsing on ASOS for some clothes when i saw an AW13 trend guide and i just had to take a look. I clicked on Winter Pastels and scrolled down to find this picture that was taken at fashion week. I was amazed by the amount of texture that i could see from these street style outfits and it just wowed me. The contrast off the faux fur navy coat with the lilac and pink pastel skirt... it just works. I would never think of putting these outfits together but i definitely see why they did. When i first saw the catwalks for AW13 and saw the pastel colours i fell in love with this trend because (i know this sounds ridiculous and childish) pastel pinks are my favourite colour. I just think they make people look so innocent, girly and feminine and recently i think that girly has been out of the picture.
Please tell me what you think of pastels being in the AW13 collection i would love to know.
