i first noticed it on tumblr.
the stream was taken over by waves of pink.
not blush, not "makeup colors",
but pink.
-
it ranged from a klimt i had never seen
to chris fawcett for coitus mag :

-
charlotte free and her pink hair have transitioned over to male models :
-
-
and for fall,
celine has no fear.
following their wildly covetable neon pink bag for spring,
they sent a navy and neon pink MINK
down their fall runway . . .
and it is all over every blog i see.

even rick owens showed hints of the trend
in a collection where what they call makeup colors
trended softly over into pinks and blush tones.
from RICK OWENS.

most lovely of all,
most heart-wrenching,
was raf simons' last show for jil sander.
he re-imagined this house,
he was reaching an apex,
and the couture influenced shapes of the past few seasons
seemed to reach a crescendo here,
as models walked in fifties inspired (but not madmen copied)
dresses and clutch coats,
each which felt more modern than the next
due to fabrication,
minimalism,
and cut.
-
and the predominant color for his final show?
not black.
but pink.
-
-
when i saw the details of this collection,
i understood why he wept when he did his encore walk.
-
on a last note,
the displays on the runway
were terrariums,
or victorian mourning boxes,
filled with fresh, pink flowers.
