Since ancient times, violet has been worn by regal figures. Due to the price of the purple dye, the hue was previously considered a luxury and only worn by only the richest members of society. Today the deep purple hue signifies luxury and prestige, with celebrities and royalty alike rocking the colour and making it their own.
Not only does it have a regal heritage, but it’s found in the cosmos, signals wellness through the amethyst crystal and was loved by fashion icon Prince.

From beauty to makeup to design, we take a look at how Ultraviolet has slayed fashion in 2018 and how designers and celebrities have managed to grab the attention of the masses with this striking colour.
