Red or dead

Red is an amazing colour. So full of depth, vibrance and meaning: be it anger, beauty or passion. We love some of the red tones going on: in fashion, photography, music, food… Steven Chee’s recent editorial for Fashion Quarterly has us particularly enamoured, with overblown red lips and thigh high stockings, the images are just rich with hue. And you can’t go past the best red hair going – Rhianna here photographed by Camilla Akrans. For deep red lips Giorgio Armani is a standout classic, however Tom Ford is a new testament to luxury, and that etched-initial lipstick is instantly covetable. What else? well you can’t go past a red velvet cupcake from Magnolia Bakery.
