Haute couture: white looks from the catwalks

White is, of all colours, a perfect trend colour to wear this time of year.  Pure and essential, it has always conveyed a desire for simplicity, essentialism and a predominantly summery vibe. Not only Spring/Summer 2022, white has also dominated the latest haute couture catwalks in Paris. From Demna’s latest couture collection for Balenciaga, via Jean-Paul Gaultier, to Valentino‘s latest collection designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli. White dominates the collections.

White, as we know, is the famous non-colour that is never universal. In fact, we know different shades including Brilliant, Ceramic, Coconut, Ghost, Moon, Feather and Abbey White.

Considered one of the most sophisticated colours of all time, white, in all its nuances – more or less opaque – is interpreted by high fashion in its most authentic and purest sense. Amid modern hints and allures of bygone eras, the fashion world reworks the timeless colour of all time.

The 1980s were recounted through the different shades of blue, during the 2000s total black was favoured, while the turn of the decade was profoundly and positively marked by white.
