Red is the color of extremes. It’s the color of passionate love, seduction, violence, danger, anger, and adventure. Our prehistoric ancestors saw red as the color of fire and blood – energy and primal life forces – and most of red’s symbolism today arises from its powerful associations in the past. Red is also a magical and religious color. It symbolized super-human heroism to the Greeks and is the color of the Christian crucifixion. Red was almost as rare and as expensive as purple in ancient days – a fact that may explain its magic and power. Paradoxically, today’s intense red dyes come from crushed insects (the lac beetle and the cochineal). I recently have a little obsession with red, especially red dresses. I just find them super feminine, attractive, fun, powerful. I feel good when wearing red, it's simply...empowering! Without further ado, I present to you one of the coolest dresses I've had in the past year - a red lace symphony from Metisu. |
