THE COLOUR RED, APHRODITE AND VALENTINE'S DAY

RED IS THE COLOUR OF THE SEASON...

"Red is the great clarifier bright and revealing. I can't imagine becoming bored with red- it would be like becoming bored with the person you love"- Diana Vreeland

Hi there, how about talking Red, as it is indeed the colour of the season because most of us are waiting for the Valentine's Day. I may have time but unfortunately doesn't have enough space to write at length regarding this audacious colour which depicts love, passion, desire, heat, longing, lust, sexuality, sensitivity, romance, joy, strength, leadership, courage, vigor, will-power, rage, anger, danger, malice, wrath, stress, action, vibrance, radiance and determination phew!! I know there are others too but I am going to focus only on one of my favourites. Red colour.

Dating back to 15,000 years prove that red colour was primarily used in that period. According to the ancient history, in Egypt, red was associated with life, health, and victory. Egyptians would colour themselves with red ochre during celebrations. Red ochre was widely used as a pigment for wall paintings, particularly as the skin colour of men. 

Red is used in modern fashion much as it was used in Medieval painting; to attract the eyes of the viewer to the person who is supposed to be the center of attention. People wearing red seem to be closer than those dressed in other colours, even if they are actually the same distance away.

Monarchs, wives of Presidential candidates and other celebrities often wear red to be visible from a distance in a crowd. It is also commonly worn by lifeguards and others whose job requires them to be easily found. In classic Rome, the most powerful men are called the Coccinati, meaning the "ones who wear red"

Red is the colour most commonly associated with love, followed at a great distance by pink. It the symbolic color of the heart and the red rose, is closely associated with romantic love or country love and Saint Valentine's Day. 

Each year on February14^th, many people exchange cards, candy, gifts or flowers( most of them are red in colour)with their special “valentine.” The day of romance we call Valentine's Day is named for a Christian martyr and dates back to the 5^thcentury, but has origins in the Roman holiday Lupercalia. But these days we celebrate Valentines day in slightly different manner as we spend quality time with a loved one. Go out to a nice restaurant or create a special dinner. Make a homemade card (especially in red) for someone. The card will have more meaning to it if it's created by you instead of buying a card from a store.

Valentine's Day Roses. Rose is one of the most popular flower and one of the most powerful symbol of Valentine's Day.Valentine's Day Hearts. Red heart pierced by the Cupid's arrow is a traditional symbol of Valentine's Day. Think of candy, chocolate, and sweets.

Red in fashion rule the ramp throughout the year, it is one such colour which takeover one's imagination and can create wonders. As they say red is not the colour of outside, it is the colour of inside too!! I appreciate this colour all the year through and love to wear

any which way, whether it is a beautiful red dress, or top, beautiful accessories like red bag, shoes or just anything in this beautiful colour.

Associated with an aristocratic excess, red is the fashion code for all seasons. Red makes a strong visual impact in the collections of designers, and fashionistas. Powerful and exciting, it can make a statement without doing anything. The hue complements almost all skin tones. Wearing red makes a bold statement that the wearer is in charge, and is full of excitement.

Be it fashion apparels or other fashion accessories, alluring shades of red run deep, charming people into the mix. Not only in fashion but this brings vibrancy to red decor or red theme too. 

And yes, how can we not talk about beautiful, bold red lips. Luscious red lips are always talk of the town. In my opinion red lips can never go wrong, they always marks a presence whenever you wear them.

Don't wait and grab a hottest piece of this shade and add power to your wardrobe as this is considered to be one of the zealot tone.

Amp your wardrobe quotient with the shade Red and rock it!
