 
In her new fabric collection, Alessandra Branca uses vivid fuchsia this seasons color to bring spirit and youth to lush, classical motifs. As the painstakingly embroidered accent on a toile and the sumptuous ground of an overscale damask, this vibrant palette is an upbeat alternative to muted neutrals. For sure, daring color is in the air: hot pink tones feel fresh in contemporary art and the latest fashion. But a closer look reveals that this buoyant hue has been a key part of the style lexicon for centuries. From the grandeur of Versailles to 1920s London, fuchsia adds a pop of the unexpected and a jolt of confident chic. Our collection of images proves that dynamic color is and always will be in style.
