PURITY

Angelic, immaculate and uh - daring? White palettes have become somewhat of a paradoxical statement floating graciously down the runway of almost every designer this season.

I say this because it's easy to inject oneself with the vivacity of colour, or slink into the chic of a strictly black mantra.

And yet, what about white? Where does it fit into the scale of chromatic camouflage? There's always that innocent sense of purity when opting for white. Think whimsical brides and Sunday schools.

Designers have really transformed the essence of neutrality in fashion this past few seasons. It's all about exquisite structure, minimalism and contrast. Plum coloured lips and smokey eyes against the crisp, clean glow of a white blouse. 

Perfection.
