SOFT PINKS FOR SPRING

There is something instinctive about reaching for soft pink as the seasons begin to shift. It brings lightness and warmth without intensity, and for Spring/Summer ‘26, it arrives redefined through a lens of texture, tailoring and modern femininity. At House of Valerie, this palette unfolds through the refined handwriting of ANNETTE GÖRTZ, AEQUAMENTE, ELEMENTE CELEMENTE, and the distinctive footwear of SORT AARHUS, each offering a unique interpretation of blush and rose tones within contemporary women's clothing.

This is not pink as decoration. It is pink as structure, as fabric, as form. From fluid silk to crinkled cotton, from softened tailoring to tactile leather, the collection explores how colour can shape the way we dress. The result is a wardrobe built around effortless dressing, where each piece integrates seamlessly into everyday life whilst maintaining a strong sense of identity.

POWDER PINK

Within AEQUAMENTE, soft pink takes on a more grounded expression. The Rosa tone runs throughout the collection, offering a cohesive palette that feels both wearable and refined, allowing each silhouette to stand on its own.

The longline coat introduces this story with confidence. Cut in an oversized shape and crafted from a crinkle cotton-mix fabric, it carries a sense of ease that defines modern outerwear. The shade reads as a washed pastel pink reminiscent of flower petals, giving the structure a softened edge. The collared neckline and button fastening keep the design anchored, whilst the vented hemline allows movement through the length. Worn open over tonal layers or contrasted with deeper neutrals, it becomes a foundation piece for transitional dressing.

Moving into a more tailored silhouette, the fitted jacket offers a different perspective. The Rosa hue here feels like a calm, understated pink with a hint of warmth, balancing the sharper lines of the stand-up collar and structured seams. It works particularly well styled with the matching wide-leg trouser, creating a co-ordinated look that feels composed without appearing overly formal.

The cropped jacket introduces texture and detail in a more directional way. Raw edges and an asymmetrical hemline give the piece a sense of movement, whilst the delicate rosy hue softens its overall impact. This is a layer that works effortlessly over sleeveless tops or dresses, adding dimension without weight.

The sleeveless cotton top continues the story with subtlety. Lightweight and breathable, its airy blush tone is enhanced by the slight semi-sheer finish at the back. The raw edges introduce a gentle sense of imperfection, making it feel lived-in from the first wear. Styled with either trouser option, it becomes an essential part of effortless dressing.

The wide-leg trouser brings balance to the collection. Its vintage pink tone complements the relaxed silhouette, whilst the structured waistband ensures a clean line through the waist. Paired with the longline coat, the look feels elongated and fluid, ideal for everyday women's clothing that still holds presence.

In contrast, the straight-leg trouser offers a more relaxed approach. The elasticated waistband and softened structure are matched by a subtle shell-pink shade, allowing it to sit easily within a wider wardrobe. Styled with knitwear, cotton tops or layered beneath longer pieces, it delivers versatility without compromising on tone.

THE ART OF PATTERNS

With ANNETTE GÖRTZ, pattern becomes a form of expression rather than embellishment. Florals are abstracted, softened and layered, allowing colour to move across fabric in a more fluid way.

The DURAS dress captures this beautifully. Crafted from lightweight silk, the base appears as a sheer off-white, almost translucent, allowing the print to take centre stage. Rich red and burnt orange florals emerge across the surface, slightly larger than other floral pieces in this collection. A brighter red adds contrast through the front, giving the piece a stronger visual rhythm. The oversized silhouette enhances movement, making it ideal for warmer days where structure feels unnecessary. Worn alone or layered over trousers, it adapts easily.

The TONIC top offers a softer interpretation. Here, the palette shifts towards coral pink, blush, and rose, creating a lighter, more feminine feel. The oversized shape and tie detail at the hem allows for subtle shaping, whilst the print itself remains gentle and airy. Styled with neutral trousers or denim, it introduces colour without overwhelming the look.

Outerwear takes on a more functional role through the ASKET coat. Its base of warm ivory carries a floral lining in muted rose and terracotta tones, creating depth without contrast. The reversible design adds versatility, allowing the print to become either a hidden detail or the focal point. The silhouette remains relaxed, making it an easy addition to everyday dressing.

The ASTA jacket continues this duality in a shorter form. Boxy and lightweight, it mirrors the tonal qualities of the coat whilst introducing a slightly more structured shape. The adjustable inner layer allows for a personalised fit, making it practical as well as considered.

VIBRANT LEATHER

Colour intensifies through leather, where ANNETTE GÖRTZ introduces a bold yet refined approach to spring dressing. The tonal shift moves away from soft pink and into a richer spectrum, creating contrast within the wider collection.

The LAO leather jacket stands out immediately. Crafted from buttery-soft leather in a burnt orange with a warm rust tone, it carries a subtle gloss that enhances its depth. The boxy shape and three-quarter sleeves reference a 70s influence, whilst the clean neckline keeps the look modern. Styled over neutral layers, it becomes a focal point without feeling excessive.

The ALO leather top offers a lighter interpretation. Its floaty silhouette and gathered front soften the richness of the material, allowing the red-orange undertone with hints of terracotta to feel more wearable. Paired with the matching trouser or layered over linen pieces, it introduces texture in a more understated way.

The SABIA leather trouser completes the set. Cut in a straight leg with a structured waistband, it balances the softness of the top. The rich, saturated tone grounds the outfit, making it suitable for both day and evening styling.

SALMON PINSTRIPE

The palette softens again through pinstripe, where warm salmon tones create a more relaxed interpretation of tailoring.

The DOMA jacket is defined by its muted apricot shade with fine vertical stripes. The oversized silhouette and deep V neckline give it a sense of ease, whilst the single button fastening keeps the line clean. It works effortlessly layered over soft pink or neutral pieces, allowing colour to sit harmoniously.

The DOTTI trouser follows the same tone, offering a wide-leg silhouette that moves naturally. The warm peachy-orange undertone adds depth, whilst the pinstripe detail elongates the shape. Styled together, the set feels cohesive yet relaxed, ideal for a wardrobe that prioritises comfort and form equally.

PASTEL PINK

With ELEMENTE CELEMENTE, the palette returns to its lightest point. The Rosebud shade introduces a very pale blush pink, almost translucent in its finish, bringing a sense of lightness to the collection.

The SOYO top is defined by its simplicity. The washed linen fabric enhances the soft rosy undertone, allowing the piece to feel breathable and natural. The central seam detail adds quiet structure, making it easy to style across multiple looks.

The MAKI trouser complements this perfectly. High-waisted with a wide leg, it carries the same gentle, airy quality, making it ideal for warmer days. Worn together, the two pieces create a tonal look that feels effortless yet intentional, reinforcing the idea of effortless dressing through soft pink.

BALLET PINK

Footwear completes the story through SORT AARHUS, where the ballet pump is reimagined in tonal variations that extend the palette.

The London Powder version introduces a dusty blush with a muted rose undertone, offering a balance between pink and beige. The suede finish enhances its softness, making it an easy pairing with both tailored and relaxed looks.

In contrast, the Gasoline Silver Pink option shifts towards a light beige with a soft sand tone. Minimal and clean, it works as a neutral within the collection, grounding softer shades.

The mesh version in Gasoline Nudo brings warmth, with its light caramel tone and honeyed undertone. The breathable leather upper adds practicality, making it ideal for everyday wear whilst maintaining the aesthetic of SORT AARHUS.
