 FASHION 2017 ...

Fashion 2017 was a ground breaking year . First and foremost it stands out as the year women discovered their power. First we saw a call to action with the Women's March in January. Second came the empowering voices of the #meetoo movement in fall. In fact women called out the seats of power Internationally demanding gender equality !

For this reason these emboldened movements were reflected in the fashion. Therefore fashion 2017 was shaped in ways both big and small by a tsunami of change.

FASHION 2017 ; THE PINKS OF POWER

While pink has always been a girly color, having strong feminine traits fashion 2017 saw that change. In fact the biggest symbol of the year was a pink hat. Notably this pink hat was inspired by the Trumps vulgar reference to women's private parts. Hence this hand knitted pink pussy hat married fashion to protest .

At the same time the fashion world was under control of an army of instagramers . As a result these influencers created one of the strongest fashion phrases of the year "millennium pink". 

The term does not refer to a specific shade of pink, but rather a range of tones ranging from blush to bubble gum. After Pantone named Rose Quartz the co-colour of the year in 2016, along with a gentle shade of lavender, pink took on a life of its own and was seen  in fashion 2017, school supplies, interiors, flowers, and even tech products.
