Purple Reign

Every year, Pantone presents its color of the year. It’s an incredible feat of forecasting and data grabbing, trendwatching and just a bit of fortune telling. This year, purple is the color of the moment, and in particular, a deep shade called ultra violet. Chloé was an early adopter of the shade, seen above on its Resort runway, along with the small Pixie double-handle bag.

Over at Akris, the Ai bag, which is available to be made just to your liking, has found its perfectly purple iteration. It’s also one of the most versatile bags you can clasp your hands around. It can be configured into a rectangular shopper, pure trapezoid tote or as a messenger bag.

Balenciaga had a few purple tricks up its sleeve for Resort. We’d venture to say that many a stylish New Yorker donned one of the brand’s oversized puffers, or perhaps went for this aubergine-hued coat which has perfected the windswept look.

Oscar de la Renta can be counted on for a pop of color. Its Impatiens Flower drop earrings makes a statement in purple. They’re a romantic addition to any ensemble and would look as appropriate with a T-shirt and jeans as a cocktail dress.

Bottega Veneta continues to release a rainbow of colors for its signature bags, including the recently reintroduced Lauren 1980 clutch. This shade, called Twilight, is like taking baby steps into the world of violet. It’s perfectly neutral without being bland.

Linda Farrow, which is one of the newest brands to open at Bal Harbour Shops, is known for statement-making eyewear. The 98 C6 round sunglasses from Dries Van Noten is the perfect accent for men or women looking to punctuate with purple.

And for those whose sartorial leanings bend toward dandy, might we suggest Roger Vivier‘s Flower Strass Embroidery loafers. These suede slip-on loafers have a retro-inspired jeweled buckle crafted with crystal flowers—just the bit of sparkle you need to brighten any old day.

The motifs are clear. The deep pink hue of Van Cleef & Arpels’ vintage Alhambra bracelet, necklace, and earrings is the result of several years of development to give it its uniquely translucent look, interspersed with fine bubbles that shimmer in the light.

On Wednesdays, we play Mahjong. And this October, we’re playing for a purpose. Here’s a look at yesterday’s stylish gathering in our Pink Park, where tiles were shuffled, lessons were learned, and a little friendly competition was fueled by bites from Makoto, TYKU Sake and iichiko Shochu.

Ready to get in the game? Tickets are still available for open play and guided lessons on October 21, as well as our grand-finale tournament on October 28. Click the link below to reserve your seat and start practicing that winning hand.
Best of all, every tile played helps make a difference, with all proceeds benefiting BCRF.
