If you're known to drop what you're doing for a quick trip to Paris at a moment's notice, you'll probably be all too familiar with the city's unofficial colour code: black, grey, white and denim are always a safe bet, whilst the rest of the rainbow tends not to shine quite so hard in the city. So when I spotted Kate Moss stepping out of the Ritz Paris in two non-black dresses, I took note. And it turns out her anti-LBD shades are amongst the most divisive—and increasingly popular—colours making their way through fashion circles this season.
First up was a long-sleeve, knee-grazing dress in the punchiest shade of royal purple. Once considered a tricky hue to style, purple has been enjoying a serious renaissance this season, with major labels including Saint Laurent and Prada pushing for its return.

Vibrant, energising and a little unexpected, the colour has become a favourite among fashion people, with turquoise tops, T-shirts and skirts cropping up on the streets of Paris, London and beyond throughout the summer.

Always one to take note when Kate Moss steps out, I rounded up the purple and turquoise items worth considering now. Mark my words: these are the shades we'll be seeing a lot more of this autumn.
