Icecream DreamA swirl of sorbet hues makes its mark on Spring 2012 collections. By Anna Loren

Breezy pastels strike a note for spring, with cool icecream colours spread generously across womenswear collections from New York to Milan. Tart yellow, lollipop pink and creamy peach were designer favourites, complemented by cool blue and mint shades which were light and bright, but never clinical. The look had all the traditional trappings of femininity, with whimsical prints and Peter Pan collars in abundance, but was kept from slipping into the saccharine by impeccable tailoring and crisp, clean lines. Sherbet-tinged organza and chiffon added to the weightless feel for collections that were the height of springtime leisure.

PHILLIP LIMA yellow ochre apricot, creamy and robust, Resene Corvette brings to mind breezy summer days. Phillip Lim seemed to have the same idea with his New York show – his collection was inspired by kites and featured strips and swatches of lightweight fabrics in numerous pastel hues.

HOUSE OF HOLLANDResene Vision is a warm, dusky greyed violet, feminine and trusting. Henry Holland’s Spring collection, fittingly entitled ‘Pastel Punks’, featured Resene Vision on sweetly structured dresses and tops, shown alongside swathes of chiffon and bleach-spattered powder blue jeans.
