Purple Powers Into Fashion

This season, the colour purple is SO hot! Whether violet, soft lilac, lavender or deep plum, all shades are absolutely stylish this season.

The look works great worn from head to toe, or simply to add a burst of colour through accessories. If you're lucky enough to get your dainty digits on Samsung's new F210 Purple phone, you'll have that extra bit of panache without even trying! Carry the phone, and you'll be glam whether you're out on the town, or leaving your yoga classes at the gym.

This gallery shows some of the greatest ways to wear the look this season.
