It seems that the designers at Paris Fashion Week were seeing things through rose-tinted spectacles this season, with Balenciaga, Céline and Valentino all showcasing pink dresses on the runway. Alessandro Michele also showed off his SS17 collection for Gucci in an all-pink venue featuring over 250,000 mirrored sequins which moved and reflected the models as they sashayed down. With pink having a moment, here are our favourite all-pink locations for you to lust after...
