Amidst this season's love of sobriety in greys, navys and olive greens, splash a bit of colour around. With real flair it is easy to stand out from the crowd. The current Chanel perfume advertising campaign has taken full note of this, with its model dressed in a bright pillar box red.
Red, an instantly eye-catching colour, is fabulous for accessories especially at night. The theatricality of a red boa carelessly slung over a simple dress is dramatic, while an embroidered scarf from Anna Sui adds a note of bohemian decadence.
Shocking red and white shoes with geometric heels at Prada and patent red Mary Janes with ball heels at Miu Miu represent the vanguard of footwear at the moment, while sparkling red hair slides and dramatic burgundy flowers from Johnny Loves Rosie complete the look.
