The season of RED

RED is color for Winter. It gives also feeling of Christmas.
RED looks warm, especially dark red colors.
In the winter, it is better to wear RED clothes.
Of course, the knitted items are good for winter.
Are there RED knit items in your wardrobe?

I chose Winter must-have items such as gloves, hats, scarfs, sweaters, and cardigan.
How many items do you have from these?
I think most of people have at least one RED item for cold days.





Which material goes well with RED?


RED is used many kinds of materials.
There are eight of them.
Vinyl: ruby red color, shiny and stiff 
Fur: orangish red color, soft and warm feeling
Crochet: salmon red color, girlish look
Velvet: maroon red color, natural shiny and royalty mood 
Sequins: burgundy red color, glittering and hard 
Knit: lust red color, flexible
Leather: scarlet red color, a bit of shine and tough image
Feather: cardinal red color, a gradient of red and sharp feeling

I want to wear sequins RED.
Which RED fabrics suit well with you?

Do you know the real RED fashion lovers?

Chinese are the real fashion lovers of RED.
For them, RED meaning is good luck and happiness.
Cheongsam dress: Chinese traditional clothing
It is fitted style, so it makes beautiful figure for woman.
Wedding dress( by designer Tsai Meiyue) :  RED is wedding theme color of China.
The brides wear RED gowns instead of whites.
Sophisticated dress: more modern dress
It looks very gorgeous.
Inspired from China: from Louis Vuitton spring 2011 collection
Many famous designers get the ideas from Chinese RED fashion.

Can you wear those?


Wow~~what a strange and unique RED shoes!!!
After I searched for RED shoes, I decided to choose weird shoes from them.
RED color is attractive color, plus if you wear those crazy high-heels....
It would be amazing...(number 5 is difficult to wear in life)
1 and 4 was from Christian Dior.
2 is shown in Alexander McQueen.
3 is very cute, color combination like a strawberry.
5 is really odd shoes, is it possible to wear??
6 is an idea from a wheel bag, also unique.

From them, I love 3rd one. 
How about you? 
   

Let's play with RED~


The original bag is Green vivid color (in the middle of image)
The bag is from ASOS collection.
I like shape of boxy bag, unfortunately there are no red color for this bag.
So I decided to change the colors to various of REDs.( in the photoshop)
I am not a professional for photoshop, so it looks a little bit strange.
However changing to RED colors, I am satisfied with it.

Would you give a point of RED?


A little amount of RED is stronger than just red clothing.
Zipper: unique, people would focus on this first. 
Collar: strong feeling, like a captain or soldiers
Narrow lines: very classic and clean, but feeling of hospitals
One stripe: interesting, even though it is just one line, it is stronger than other lines.

For me, I love that RED zipper on the white minidress.
Let's give a little point of RED!!  


Which colors match with RED?


White/cream: goes with all colors well
 RED and white are good for matching, Red would look stronger.
Black: stylish and timeless
RED and black always suits well, any items with black and red are great.
Blue: the opposite reactions as red 
RED and blue can be strong look.
Grey: matches with every colors
RED and grey goes well, it is chic and classic.
Yellow: attractive color
If you wear RED and yellow, you would be an attention getter.

I like red&black and yellow&red.
