red to toe

Visions of riveting rouge rule the runways.

Last fall, neutrals overwhelmed single-toned outfits with slinky separates and luxurious furs.  This year, the trend comes back around in full force with one major revision: the electrifying red hue that permeates almost every collection in some form or another.  Mixing textures and variations of the bold color prove popular at design houses such as Rodarte and Elie Tahari, where gradients go head to toe and back again in maroon to cherry-red shades.  Slim silhouettes, infinity scarf toppers, and belted waists make the looks relevant and sensual, perfect for any modern day woman in search of a compelling and showstopping effect.
