"    Photo: Courtesy of Imaxtree and Alessandro Lucioni    It&amp;#039;s not often one leaves a fall fashion show with an immediate urge to wear summery shades of petal pink and melon orange, but that was the case with Roksanda Ilincic&amp;#039;s latest collection. Save for a few black and wine pieces towards the end, the Belgrade-born designer bucked the dark trend by sending out slick PVC dresses and bushy fur collars in sugary pastels. But don&amp;#039;t mistake sugary for sweet. &amp;quot;Witchy&amp;quot; details like curved heels and mini white lace veils pinned to the models&amp;#039; hair gave the saccharine shades a darker, Miss Havisham-esque undercurrent. And the soundtrack of Bauhaus&amp;#039;s ominous &amp;quot;Bela Lugosi&amp;#039;s Dead&amp;quot; set the tone for a collection that was pretty without being precious and haunting without going goth.   Speaking backstage after the show, Ilincic walked ELLE.com through her latest collection, beginning with why it just might be time to think pink. ELLE : Your color palette this season was very surprisingly light for a winter collection.  Roksanda Ilincic : I love to experiment with colors, and I love to mix very unusual color combinations\u2014for example, brown and green. But at the same time, in the same vein of experimentation, I really want to bring a breath of fresh air into winter. Normally those pastel colors are seen as very spring, but there is an element of happiness and freshness about them, and I just want to bring that into winter. Why not, you know? Why not break the rules?  ELLE : Did you have a specific muse this season?  RI: I didn&amp;#039;t have a muse as such, but it was definitely this kind of slightly beautiful and romantic but at the same time ghostly and haunted girl. So there is a light side and a dark side. ELLE : Tell us about the shoes. That metallic orange was fantastic. RI: The shoes were done in collaboration with Aldo. This is our second season, and they kind of drew inspiration from witches&amp;#039; shoes, so that&amp;#039;s why the heel is quite sculptural. It&amp;#039;s all that kind of ghostly, haunted, witchy theme. ELLE : What are you doing after Fashion Week? RI: Just continue to work, to be honest. I&amp;#039;m going to Paris to do my showroom. I think I&amp;#039;ll be traveling to New York and Toronto for the trunk shows. So there&amp;#039;s no break. ELLE : Kate Middleton is a fan of yours, but your line is not really what we might expect from the Duchess&amp;#039;s style. RI: To be honest, I have so many absolutely amazing women that wear me, from the Duchess to somebody like Lady Gaga, Florence Welch, or Courtney Love. So it&amp;#039;s not only one type of woman. ELLE : Which outfit from the collection are you dying to wear first? RI: It&amp;#039;s hard to choose. Usually I need a couple of days to process it all. ELLE : We&amp;#039;re seeing a lot of these PVC details and glossy materials this season. RI: I&amp;#039;ve been using this for the past three seasons, so this is not something that&amp;#039;s new to me, but it&amp;#039;s definitely in the air. I think designers are breathing and living fashion so I guess all of us are sensing it at the same time. See all the Fall 2013 Ready-to-Wear collections.
