Orange

Vibrant bolts of orange added zest to designers' collections. Brighter shades were generally reserved for statement-piece dresses, but burnt tones provided depth and warmth on daywear. Carolina Herrera and Sonia Rykiel chose orange on floor-length gowns, while Halston used it on a tailored blazer. Cocoon-shaped statement jackets at Daks and Paul & Joe came in vivid orange, while bright orange on Prada's vintage floral lace livened up an austere look.
