Monochrome Mondays: Pale Rosette

Remember how afternoons feel on the cusp of spring? The sun stays out longer, flowers blossom, and we all get a little bit of our colour back. The shimmery glow of moonlight on a balmy night, the burnt-out sunsets, that anticipatory feeling of incoming beach days and late night outs. That’s kind of how Pale Rosette feels like; a dainty promise of good days to come.

With a timeless, ethereal quality, and a dash of pure fairytale magic, this hue is a light, delicate pink reminiscent of a rose petal, like a super-charged baby pink. And this week, dear readers, we're turning our gaze to regional designers who've embraced this alluring colour.

Antoine Kareh 

LE VIDE Couture Collection 23/24

A more subdued version of the Pale Rosette, this glittering look from Beirut-based Antoine Kareh is a backless, feather-y delight.

Saffron Boutique 

The Dana Set

The Dana Set from the UAE’s Saffron Boutique is a blushing, multi-shade number that we can envision ourselves wearing on Ramadan nights and blooming like a flower.

Rami Al Ali

The Tubino Dress- AW/23 Couture

The pale rosette feathers on this beige and gold dress from Rami Al Ali add just the right amount of whimsical charm, popping from beneath the multiple overskirt panels.

Hagopian Jewels 

All about the pink, this ring from Hagopian Jewelry’s collection is a gentle caress to the fingers. The pearl ring is the colour of a mermaid’s blush and pink water lilies flourishing beneath the surface.

Nafsika Skourti

The Two Tone Dress - AW23 / Divine Kallos

Nafsika Skourti’s two-toned dress from the ‘Divine Kallos’ collection is absolutely divine, indeed. The captivating silhouette, the slight draping, the sweetheart neckline and corset bodice make for a dress that accentuates and flatters the body.

Georges Hobeika 

Satin Purse - Fall 2023 ‘UN RÊVE’ Couture Collection

For the love of pink! Georges Hobeika’s Satin Purse from the ‘UN RÊVE’ Couture Collection is a dream, indeed (and a sophisticated French one at that).

Rony Abou Hamdan 

The Powder Pink Draped Dress

Embellished with sparkling embroidery, this dress by Lebanese Rony Abou Hamdan is a gentle feminine dream with its gorgeous silhouette and tulle tail.

Katee by Kristina 

Lanilla Heels 

These are the shoes we daydreamed about when we were little girls. With a stunning rosy base, the Lanilla heels from Egypt’s Katee by Kristina are adorned by pink feathers and shiny studs.

Georges Hobeika

Fall 2023 ‘UN RÊVE’ Couture Collection

Another one because this collection was just too pretty and pink to spare. This one is all about the drama. This two-toned larger-than-life dress from Georges Hobeika’s collection is feathers upon feathers upon feathers.
