From pale lavenders, fuchsia tones and deep regal indigos, it’s a colour that knows no bounds, is always intriguing and often seen as a colour that stands above the rest.

A purple palette has the best of both worlds by combing radical reds to balmy blues, and for next winter it’s here to stay with a myriad of tones to delight and inspire. BY DAN AHWA RESENE BUBBLEGUM Resene Bubblegum is a nostalgic lavender and lace purple. Fun and lighthearted, this flippant shade of lavender has a sense of humour as well as a calming nature when combined with other pastel inspired tones.

Designers such as Peter Dundas for Pucci and Christopher

Decarnin for Balmain played on the colours’ regal properties with rich purple brocades and mystical column gowns. Henry Holland’s playful bubblegum purple tapped into the colours playful sense of humour.

Purple has become a perennial favourite for the winter season, reinventing itself from a majestic classic to a popular pastel. A purple palette has the best of both worlds by combing radical reds to balmy blues, and for next winter it’s here to stay with
