Sonia Zmihi,

Red is the ultimate color of a woman in charge. From bold lipstick to the sole of a designer shoe, the iconic hue is one that rarely goes unnoticed. Fierce, powerful and defiant, part of the color’s allure is that it’s largely about being seen. And if anything, this fall will not be a time to shrivel and hide but rather the ideal season to make a statement and free your inner flame.
While a head-to-toe look is an unquestionably brave fashion move, it is also surprisingly wearable and flattering. Plus and most valuably, fiery red is the perfect mood elevator; it will boost your confidence and it holds the power of turning a grey rainy day into a party! Now who doesn’t like a good party ?

Here we’re taking you on a journey around all the major fashion capitals to discover the different ways designers revisited the striking hue.

Who better than fashion it-girls and catwalk queens – Gigi Hadid and Kendal Jenner to prove our point ?
