Seeing the Light

You know it's a bona fide trend when even the princes of darkness cross over to the light side. Alexander Wang uncharacteristically offered zero black, opting to show an optimistic collection in which just a few soft pastels shared the runway with the white stuff. And Rick Owens joined in on the season's clean sweep, too, sending out alien angels in pearly-toned tunics with floor-grazing skirts. Other designers feeling all white now included Ann Demeulemeester, Celine, and newcomer Pedro Lourenço.
