Winter’s palette has taken a rich turn away from monochromatic hues as sumptuous jewel tones present opulence at its finest. Shades of jade, ruby and azure cast sophisticated glamour over the runways from New York to Milan. Carolina Herrera opted for a concentration of amethyst for one of her a/w16 dresses while Burberry chose a shimmering garnet colour. There is always something quite regal in these mesmerising colour tones, with their ability to exude stately power. For the woman that longs for added sparkle Gucci’s emerald green dress with oriental motifs is a standout, while Bottega Veneta’s sleek blue bodycon offers a sensual alternative.
