1.16 // In the nude (not what you think)

Prancing around in the nude all day - and night - has become socially acceptable.

Not, of course, in your birthday suit - I’m talking about nude dresses, heels, etc… all over the runway.

Jean Paul Gaultier // Spring 2009 [model: Lily Donaldson]

Lanvin // Spring 2009

Giambattista Valli // Spring 2009

Valentino // Spring 2009

Derek Lam // Spring 2009

Alberta Ferratti // Spring 2009

You’ll notice that there are different hues of nude - yellow, peachy, cream… I prefer the peachy nude, personally - my skin has yellow undertones (most people have pink), so I tend to avoid yellow clothes unless they’re (a) neon yellow (haha… only occasionally!) or (b) I’m tan.

And let’s have another look du jour, just because this is gorgeous:
