Carnival Column Heliotrope Purple Track Pants

Carnival Column — named after a flower, dressed like a festival

Heliotrope is a plant that turns to face the sun. It’s also one of the most extraordinary shades of purple ever given a name — warm, vibrant, sitting somewhere between pink and violet with the confidence of neither and the presence of both.

Carnival Column is an original digital artwork by Melbourne artist Bert Ernie — a tightly packed vertical column of abstract forms, layered and translucent, dense with color and movement. The design runs from hip to hem down the right leg, with the front and rear panels cut from the same print and sewn together at the side seam, mirroring each other to create a totem-pole effect that looks like it was carved there deliberately. Tucked into the design is the wild peach logo in matching heliotrope purple, with a subtle 3D effect that rewards anyone who looks closely enough.

Against the heliotrope base, the design feels like it’s in its natural habitat. The pinks and magentas in the composition blend warmly into the base. The greens and teals cut through with sharp, joyful contrast. The yellows and oranges glow. Of all the Carnival Column variants, this is the one where the design and the base feel most in conversation — as if the artwork was made with this color specifically in mind.

People will notice. People will ask. You’ll probably get stopped at the shops.
