WHAT HUE LOOKING AT?

Lilac is the colour of the season and here’s how you can take it from the catwalk to the high street

The gentle purple hue was popping up all over Paris Fashion Week, but how do you tone down the high fashion and make it work in every day life?

KEEN fashion-fans have had their eyes on the catwalks over New York/London/Paris Fashion Weeks trying to pick out the key trends to take from the catwalk to the high street.

Lilac was a big colour on the runways this year, with the soft hue making a number of appearances.

John Galliano, Mui-Mui and Valentino all showed pieces in the soft tone, but taking it from runway to real life can be a challenge.

The pastel shade is perfect for the incoming spring weather.

It can be accompanied with frills and lace for a hyper-girlie and feminine outfit.

Or pairs with chunky jewellery, leathers and heavy make-up for a bold, grungy look.
