It’s been impossible to ignore the almost neon shade of hot pink that’s currently dominating the fashion world. Just when we thought millennial pink might make way for another colour, a brighter, more vibrant hue has quickly been crowned it’s successor.
The trend, aptly named Barbie core, has been spotted everywhere. From being paraded down the runway of Valentino’s unforgettable autumn/winter 2022/2023 show, to the photos of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling on the set of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film, the vibrant colour is taking over. And now it’s set to feature in our wardrobes too with local and international designers embracing the heading-turning hue of pink.
