AW25 Colour Focus: Dusty Pink
Dusty pink defines the mood of AW25, bringing softness and confidence into perfect balance. No longer a fleeting seasonal accent, it has evolved into a true modern neutral: understated, elegant, and endlessly wearable. At House of Valerie, we see this as the season where muted rose tones move to the forefront of ladies designerwear. Their beauty lies in versatility, able to shift from romantic to refined depending on how they are styled.
From the gentle warmth of MAMA B’s Cipolla to the expressive depth of RUNDHOLZ DIP’s Flamingo, the story of dusty pink unfolds through texture and silhouette. Velvet, leather and wool all find harmony in this palette, each fabric responding differently to the light. The result is a colour that feels deeply tactile and quietly luxurious, the kind of tone that adds emotion to autumn dressing without ever losing sophistication.
The Warmth of Cipolla by MAMA B
MAMA B brings dusty pink into a world of texture and comfort. The Cipolla hue feels rooted in nature, soft but grounded, with an undertone of warmth that flatters every complexion. It captures the label’s vision for AW25 perfectly: everyday pieces that combine practicality with understated beauty.
The MAMA B Veloce L Jacket sets the tone. Made from cotton velvet, it has a delicate lustre that catches the light gently, giving the fabric depth and movement. The collared neckline and button fastening lend structure, while the peplum hem adds subtle shape. It’s a piece that feels quietly feminine and versatile, equally elegant worn buttoned with tailored trousers or left open over knitwear for a softer finish.
For a co-ordinating look, add the MAMA B Moyet Pullover beneath it. Cropped with an asymmetric hem and high neckline, it introduces an element of modern ease. The cotton-mix fleece gives it warmth without bulk, ideal for transitional layering. Worn over a longer shirt or paired with a high-waisted skirt, it becomes an everyday essential with presence and comfort in equal measure.
The MAMA B Pace V Trouser continues this theme of refined ease. Its fine needlecord fabric brings a tactile texture, while the balloon shaping adds gentle volume through the leg. The elasticated waistband makes it effortless to wear, and the seam detailing gives definition and structure. In Cipolla, the effect is harmonious and sophisticated, blending naturally with deep browns, greys or off-white tones.
For a slightly sharper look, the MAMA B Bianco V Trouser offers the same soft cord in a tapered cut. With its subtle darting and defined balloon leg, it provides the foundation for more structured outfits. The silhouette works beautifully with the Veloce Jacket for a coordinated approach, or layered with a fine pullover for a more relaxed balance.
The MAMA B Emotiva Pullover and Memi MR Top bring lightness into the edit. The Emotiva, with its rounded neckline and dropped shoulders, is all about movement, while the Memi’s striped A-line shape introduces a quiet playfulness. These are the epitome of the collection: clothes that feel as beautiful as they look.
For us, Cipolla’s beauty deepens when paired with richer hues. Espresso brown grounds the tone, creating contrast without harshness, while the Sepia shade from HANNOH WESSEL complements it with understated sophistication. The result is a palette that embodies warmth and confidence, perfectly suited to modern ladies designerwear.
The Boldness of Flamingo by RUNDHOLZ
If MAMA B speaks softly, RUNDHOLZ DIP answers with confidence. The Flamingo palette presents dusty pink through a sculptural lens, translating romance into something striking and self-assured. Every fabric carries weight and intention, from supple lamb leather to richly pigmented wool and ethereal fox-silk blends.
The RUNDHOLZ DIP Lamb Leather Jacket is a study in craftsmanship. Fitted through the body with a neat collar and oversized sculptural pockets, it redefines structure in motion. The leather itself is buttery and responsive, shaped to move with the wearer rather than restrict. When styled with tailored trousers, it feels strong and polished; paired with the matching Flamingo leather trousers, it transforms into a statement ensemble that commands attention.
Those trousers mirror the jacket’s artistry. The drop-crotch cut and precise seam placement create a silhouette that feels architectural yet easy to wear. The fixed waistband anchors the look, and the lamb leather brings both softness and resilience. Together, the two pieces show how RUNDHOLZ can make something bold feel entirely natural.
Flamingo appears again in the RUNDHOLZ DIP Knitted Tunic, crafted in a luxurious fox-silk blend. The fabric drapes fluidly, and the high neckline with drawstring detail allows subtle adjustment for shape. Frayed edges and raw finishes lend a deconstructed charm. The texture alone tells the story of quiet luxury, the kind of garment that feels indulgent yet practical, especially when layered with neutral or tonal trousers.
The RUNDHOLZ DIP Pullover carries that same relaxed attitude. Oversized, soft and tactile, it balances comfort with artistry. Its ribbed neckline and distressed hem make it unmistakably RUNDHOLZ, a piece that feels alive with movement. Layered under the RUNDHOLZ DIP Wool Coat, the effect is sculptural and contemporary. The coat’s oversized shape and exaggerated pockets introduce a sense of protection and volume that defines AW25 outerwear.
For those drawn to precision, the Light Flamingo Wool Jacket offers structure with grace. Its tailored silhouette flatters without constraint, the pigment-rich wool giving vibrancy and depth to the soft tone. The finish feels timeless, especially when styled with cropped wide trousers or printed cotton shirts. Here, Flamingo takes on a gentler character, reminding us that confidence can be expressed quietly.
Complementary Pieces for Modern Neutrals
To complete the story of colour, RUNDHOLZ DIP and ANNETTE GÖRTZ deliver pieces that bridge the space between romance and refinement. Each design supports the season’s shift towards subtle saturation and tactile contrast.
The RUNDHOLZ DIP Wide-Leg Trouser, made from an elasticated cotton mix, combines freedom of movement with sculptural form. Its washed dye finish gives the fabric a unique surface, with every pair subtly distinct. The wide shape complements cropped jackets or fine knits, creating volume that feels intentional rather than oversized.
Print takes on new expression in the RUNDHOLZ DIP Cotton Trouser and Shirt, each piece patterned with nostalgic handwritten stamps and postmarks. The effect is quietly expressive, turning everyday cotton into a canvas for memory and storytelling. The cropped trouser and straight-cut shirt together form an ensemble that feels both intellectual and modern, ideal for those who appreciate subtle detail over embellishment.
Denim is reinterpreted too, through the RUNDHOLZ DIP Drop-Crotch Trouser in Crab Light. The soft, distressed cotton creates a vintage effect that still feels forward-looking. Sculptural pockets and precise construction add integrity, making it the perfect piece to balance Flamingo’s more striking tones.
For grounding and versatility, ANNETTE GÖRTZ offers the Sabia Trouser in light brown leather. The straight-leg cut and smooth finish speak to the brand’s minimalist approach. This shade bridges warm rose tones and earthy neutrals, working as a stabilising element across the AW25 palette. Whether worn with a structured RUNDHOLZ jacket or a soft MAMA B pullover, it completes the look with quiet refinement.
