Bursting with attitude and mystery, pink is an age-old hue used to be a colour for both male and female aristocrats, its rich saturation symbolising luxury. Nowadays, packed with power and associated with femininity and fantasy, our Scandinavian take on pink harps back to the enchanting tales of the North - Like the Danish ‘Lykketrold’ that symbolises good luck.

From sky high platforms to top handle totes, the happiest colour is not one to be missed. These are the season must-have accessories curated by our editor in chief Martina Bonnier, for the latest Aug-Sept issue of Vogue Scandinavia.

Giuseppe Zanotti’s neon-pink patent leather peep-toe sandals are the epitome of Barbiecore: a powerful sandal in the boldest pink. The impressive 17cm heel is stacked on a 6.5cm platform and is designed only for serious heel wearers. The devil is in the details, as the shoe is finished with a tonal buckle for an over all kitschy, shoe-of-the-moment look.

Swedish Stand Studio’s latest boots addition is grafted in the label's signature faux fur in the perfect hue of shocking pink. These heeled Chelsea boots have a slightly Western flair, owing to the pointed toe and solid block heel. Keeping in line with the aesthetic of the colour happy brand, wear your pink boots with contrasting, neon colours for a modern, Scandinavian look.

As a pioneer of pink, Valentino’s now-signature hue is set to saturate all of the house's best known accessories.
