If colorful is your thing, then this is your time. Colors were all over the catwalk as well as in the stores. From the [crayon concoction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clinique-x-crayola) of Kashimoto, Erdem, and Armand Basi shown on the catwalks in Paris to the [fluffy little A line chiffon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) and everything in between, enjoy the colors - and draw the eyes your way

**Implications** - The rise of [crayon-box couture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-dualities) is no coincidence; the fashion industry is embracing the more fantastical, fun and child-like aspect of adornment as an antidote to the sleek, harsh style that dominated the runway for quite some time. Ultimately, even the most high-end haute couture enthusiast needs to have a little fun.
