The New Hue: Fall 2010

Red is one of the most exciting hues for fall. There is something empowering, sexy, and ostentatiously delicious about red that makes it one of my favorite color trends of the season. Tomas Maier embraced all of these traits in the Bottega Veneta fall collection, best exemplified by this radiant gown. The vibrant silk jersey appeared to effortlessly float down the runway and the satin belt forms an empire waist that will undoubtedly flatter all body types. It is evident that Maier truly understands how to dress real women. The corporate eveningwear displayed at Bottega Veneta provided the perfect yin to Givenchy’s yang.

Riccardo Tisci drew inspiration from menswear and presented impeccably tailored suits, in bright red for added glamour. There is no reason why corporate women cannot be fashion forward and sophisticated in the workplace. Show-stopping red from head to toe is a definite must-have for the upcoming season.
