There's no doubt that bold and bright colors are oh so in, but one hue is emerging as a major player for '08: purple. The color purple was a trend on the horizon in the latter part of 2007 (remember I tipped you off in my 2007 in Review post?) but Fashion Week has only reaffirmed the number of designers that have envisioned 2008 through a cloud of purple haze. The "it" new hue has been popping up all over the runways, from Nicole Miller to Baby Phat to Reyes, in a number of shades, fabrics and silouhettes. Let's take a look at some of the purple-icious Fall 2008 looks that have graced the runways this week:

Badgley Mischka

DKNY

Hervé Léger

Abaeté




Diane Von Furstenburg


Reyes

Elie Tahari


Lacoste


Rag and Bone

James Coviello

Rachel Roy


Tuleh


Oscar de la Renta




Rock and Republic


As you can see, pairing it with gray, black or even another bright is all the rage. Now that you're in the know, why not add a little of this royal color to your repertoire?
