A soothingly sweet shade of Blueberry Milk refreshes womenswear with a summery appeal, as seen in Paris collections. Christian Dior applies the color to a lightweight embellished jacket, while fine knits look chic with cut-outs at Loewe. In regards to accessories, we see a luxe jeweled pendant by Lanvin and a quilted leather handbag by Louis Vuitton.

Masc-Femme

Elsewhere, heavily textured fabrics appeal to the touch in the form of Issey Miyake’s slouchy outerwear design, while lightweight wovens stand out with layered skirts at Atsuro Tayama. This soft blue also works well across masc-femme Saint Laurent hats and futuristic visor eyewear at Kenzo.

An Optimistic Essential

In London, Banana Essence emerges as an essential new shade, offering a luminous, optimistic note to casual styling. Delicate lace fabrics express a modern femininity with coordinated Erdem ensembles, while material blocked sweaters and loose strand jersey bottoms offer tactile interpretations at Topshop and Louise Alsop. J.W. Anderson demonstrates how dark underlays help the shade to stand out.

Creamy & Bold Contrasts

This creamy pastel has also been forecast as one of Spring/Summer 2016’s key Fashion Colors. As seen with J.W. Anderson, Holly Fulton and Giles both utilize black contrasts for a bold statement across embellished pattern panel dresses or revamped kiltie brogues. Elsewhere, David Koma injects a sporty dimension with tonal trim on a top and Matthew Williamson goes chic with soft draping.
