Arrival of the pastels’ invasion was of no big surprise to anybody. After a pleasantly crazy year of vivid and neon bright colours it was inevitable that sweet, tender and very feminine hues are next to rule the world, at least the world of fashion. And however under the indelible impression of currently shown Fall 2012 collections my mind is mostly preoccupied with futuristic designs of Miuccia Prada, leather dominance in Theyskens’ Theory, “Town meets Field” attitude of Christopher Bailey and the rich, natural palette seen at Gucci catwalk I couldn’t ignore the pastels call.
The secret behind the pastels appeal is freshness, youth, femininity and dreaminess they bring. Dusty blue reminds the sky which you gaze upon through the squeezed eyelashes lazily laying on a beach. Mint green is as fresh and delightful as a mojito in a heat of a summer day. And could there be anything more elegant, romantic and lady-like than the shades of powder pink? However sometimes it’s way more simple than that and colours are just colours, and fashion is fashion to be simply enjoyed. So let the inner princess go and blossom in the pastel spring.

Нашествие пастельных оттенков не стало ни для кого большим сюрпризом. После приятно сумасшедшего сезона ярких, неоновых цветов воцарение в мире женственных, нежных красок было неизбежно… по крайней мере в мире моды. И хотя под неизгладимым впечатлением от показываемых в настоящий момент коллекций осень-зима 2012 мой ум больше занят футуристическими дизайнами Миуччи Прада, доминированием кожи в показе Theyskens’ Theory, настроением “ Город и Поле” в коллекции Кристофера Байлей и палитрой насыщенных, природных красок, представленных Домом Gucci, я не могу игнорировать призыв пастели.
Секрет привлекательности данных оттенков - женственность, молодость и мечтательность, которые они в себе несут. Светло-голубой напоминает небо, на которое смотришь сквозь полуприкрытые ресницы, лежа на лениво теплом пляже. Мятно-зеленый такой же свежий и приятный, как мохито в зной летнего дня. А что может быть элегантнее, романтичнее и женственнее, чем оттенки бледно-розового? Хотя, иногда все намного проще фантазии, цвета являются всего лишь цветами, а мода остается просто модой, чтоб ею наслаждаться, и ничего больше. Так что будите свою внутреннюю принцессу и отправляйтесь цвести и рдеть в пастельной весне.

Ah the Chanel June nail polish looks absolutely gorgeous! (though I'm a sucker for anything Chanel really). Pastels are just oh so pretty but it's a shame I can't pull them off. Your collection looks amazing though!

i'm hoping to find something in a soft lilac for spring. and something minty :)
ReplyDelete[oomph.]
aw these colours and textures are amazing, they make me feel happy! lol following you, i hope you'll follow me! x
ReplyDeleteI am not really a fashionista but i do love reading blogs about them, i am just wondering if pastel colors are always in during spring or summer season?
ReplyDeleteI think pastel pallet is the one which is mostly associated with spring. However taking in mind last year & vivid colour-blocking trend I guess it's just a matter of changing/ one season bright colors rule the world, next - pastel, dusty, nude ones.
