Millennial pink was the runaway success of 2017 \u2014 from the catwalks to the high street, Instagram feeds were saturated with the pastel shade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rose gold, watermelon pink, and dusty blush were surely its forebears, and yet millennial pink seemed to have sprung up out of nowhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking forward to SS18, it shows no sign of letting up just yet either!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We shouldn\u2019t be surprised by the popularity of this unassuming s<\/span>hade, though.<\/p>\n

Accused by many of being ‘apathetic’, ‘delicate flowers’, and a generation of ‘snowflakes’, millennials have actually been showing up (and often showing their elders up!), for a long time now. <\/span><\/p>\n

From tackling gender inequality to protesting political orders, young people have been at the front of demanding change and accepting new possibilities for identity and governance. <\/span><\/p>\n

Millennial pink makes perfect sense in this context \u2014 since the early 20th century in western society, pink has been associated with girls, women, and femininity (before this pink was seen as a colour for boys). <\/span><\/p>\n

With this has come connotations of daintiness, prettiness (pretty in pink) and fragility.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, to dress a baby boy in pink is still seen as scandalous by many \u2014 gender neutral baby clothing has tended to mean little girls wearing blue, rather than ‘tarnishing’ boys with a signifier of femininity. <\/span><\/p>\n

And yet this generation sees things a little differently, open to the idea that possibilities for freedom, expression, health, and creativity are opened up when strict binaries are shattered.<\/span><\/p>\n

So yes, millennial pink is pretty. <\/span><\/p>\n

But it\u2019s also testimony to the resilience of the younger generations, and the hope that they embody. <\/span><\/p>\n
