Forbidden Fruit: Dark Cherry, Plum & Blackberry Dark Feminine Fashion
From black cherry to midnight blue, these sumptuous shades are ripe for the picking
By: The Lace Ledger Staff
Summer has a way of making everything look a little more appetizing. Cherries ripen. Blackberries stain your fingertips. Plums practically glow in the afternoon sun. It's only natural that our wardrobes would follow suit.
These are the rich, fruit-inspired shades we're reaching for all season long.
The beauty of this palette lies in its versatility. Satin catches the light like the skin of a ripe cherry, while rich leather lends depth to blackberry and merlot hues. Look to PHLUR for a fragrance that completes the story, Reformation and Sam Edelman for footwear, La Femme En Noir, Lively Ghosts, Smythe, Disturbia, Witchwood, House of CB, Vixen by Micheline Pitt and Killstar for richly saturated fashion, Haute Cuir for sculptural leather accessories, Necromancy Cosmetica for the perfect finishing lip and Catherine D'Lish for a robe worthy of slow summer mornings.
Some colours never lose their appeal. They simply return each season in a slightly different form. If black cherry, blackberry, plum and midnight blue have been calling your name, this is your invitation to indulge.
