A Passion for Pink Stuff

August 13th, 2009 No comments

Call it a fashion statement. Call it a new outlook. Call it an obsession. There is a hot new trend in personal fashion and home decor. Pink lovers everywhere are taking decorating to the next level and surrounding themselves with the colour pink.

The Rise of Pink – Pink has been a popular colour for women’s fashions for decades. Pink is a staple of make-up and nail polish, the colour of beauty and the first blush of passion. As a result of this popularity, the colour pink has made frequent appearances in pop culture for decades. Ironically, back in the 1930s pink fabrics were more often used for boys than girls (since “red” was associated with being a masculine color.) However, that began to change starting around World War II.

As women began to return from the wartime factories into the home in the 1950s, there was a rise in consumer goods, which prompted women to purchase more pink products. (Pink represented the blush of health and vitality, and was particularly popular as a make-up color.) Audrey Hepburn, the great icon of 1950s femininity, appeared in the film “Funny Face” in 1957, which included the song “Think Pink.” The pink-clad Barbie doll was also introduced in the 1950s, further linking the color pink to girlishness. In the 1960s, pink became the color of anti-masculinity in film “The Pink Panther”. In the 1980s, songs like “Pink Cadillac” and “Pretty in Pink” played with the idea of pink femininity, and in 2000, the singer Pink emerged on the scene with a shock of hot pink hair.

What Started the Current Pink Obsession? – The real cause of the current pink obsession may be the 2001 film “Legally Blond.” In the film, Reese Witherspoon stars as Elle Woods, a law student with a pink-clad Chihuahua who manages to overcome the sexism of her cruel boyfriend and the legal system by pluckiness and a love of the colour pink. The film, which depicts how a woman can simultaneously be intelligent and sexy, was so popular that it was even turned into a Broadway musical. The popularity of pink climbed as women began to embrace the colour as the perfect symbol of modern femininity.

Pink Home Accessories – As pink’s popularity has risen, a wide range of products for home decor are now available in the colour pink. Pink lovers can now use pink not only as an accent colour but as the colour scheme for entire rooms. Home decorators can now find pink sheets and blankets for the bedroom, and pink toothbrushes and shower curtains to create a bathroom that resembles a spa. Pink kitchen accessories are growing in popularity, too. There are now pink kettles and toasters for cooking, and even a pink microwave oven on the market.

Pink Travelling – Pink extends far beyond the home, however. There are not only pink cars but also pink car accessories, such as flashlights, key chains, and even mats for seats and floors. Foreign travellers can also look into purchasing entire luggage systems that are decorated in pink. These not only coordinate with other pink items, but are also easy to spot at the airport.

A Psychology of Pink – A “pink princess” is the nickname given to women devoted to the colour pink. Pink princesses embrace pink as a whole identity, a personal statement and an outlook on life. Edith Piaf’s song “Ma Vie En Rose” translates well for these pink lovers: “My Life in Pink.” The colour offers a wonderful combination of associations: on the one hand, pink is soft and flirty, but it is also elegant and fashionable. The growing field of colour psychology makes even more dramatic claims about pink, arguing that the presence of pink even has the power to soothe. Studies suggest that even criminals may behave better when surrounded by the colour pink.

The rise of pink may be driven by these new psychological explanations. Pink lovers are doing more than just choosing a few fashion accessories. They are hoping to “see the world through rose-colored glasses,” to use the power of a positive colour to bring more happiness to their lives.
