IT’S TIME FOR BEAUTIFUL RED DRESSES, SHOES, JEWELS & MORE NOW!
Our hearts are full of red hot passion as we head towards Valentine’s Day. So we thought we’d best wear our hearts on our sleeves -- and the rest of our bodies. Check out our curated collection of magnificent red dresses, coats, shoes, jewels, and more. See below.
1. MELINDA LOOI
Malaysian designer Melinda Looi has a passion for red! We love her fantasy dresses and costumes. Check out the sheer romance of her Pleated Dress with Spaghetti Strap and Red Tweed Tulle (top image).
2. #TBT ALEXANDER MCQUEEN -- THE GIRL WHO LIVED IN THE TREE
The Girl Who Lived in the Tree, was a beautiful collection, based on a fairytale, conceived by Alexander McQueen, for autumn/winter 2008–9. While the entire collection dripped with lush romantic fantasy, his Coat, made of red silk satin, was, in our opinion, the star of the show.
Although you can’t purchase this beauty any longer, you can see it on display at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
3. CHRISTIAN DIOR COUTURE
Perfectly tailored, with red pow power, the full length wool coat making its appearance in the Christian Dior Couture Fall/Winter 2015-2016 Collection, got our attention. With billowy sleeves and a drapey cut, there’s plenty of beautiful red to go around. Recently departed house designer Raf Simons got his inspiration from the Flemish masters.
4. STÉPHANE ROLLAND
Designer Stéphane Rolland did red right for Spring 2016 with this brilliant pleated organza multi-length skirt. Both colors and textures contrast to make the red truly sing.
5. ROYAL UNDERGROUND
This awesome Red Leather Jacket from Royal Underground, by Nikki Sixx, sports a romantic leather and organza ruffle trim along the front opening and sleeves. We <3!
Available here.
6. DE GRISOGONO -- RUBY GRAPPOLI WATCH
The Ruby Grappoli Watch, by de GRISOGONO, is hand-set with with more than 1,000 gorgeous red African rubies. The ruby briolettes that edge the bezel jiggle to catch the light even more when you move your wrist. Check your pulse!
Available here.
7. CHOPARD -- FLEURS D’OPALES
Chopard’s Fleurs d’Opales collection features exotic black opals paired with other gemstones. The 1st 3 pieces in the collection, entitled Mysterious, Precious, and Dangerously, are set in titanium or zirconium.
This gorgeous ring features a 9-carat black opal, with black rhodium-plated white gold pistils, set with rubies and purple sapphires. The petals, made of blackened zirconium, are set with pink spinels. And the body of the ring is made of interlaced rose and white gold, set with black diamonds.
8. RALPH & RUSSO -- RED SATIN BAROQUE PUMPS
Ralph & Russo’s Haute Couture Red Satin Baroque Pumps with Rose Gold Heel might just have lovers falling at your feet. Part of their 2015/2016 Collection, these shoes are an exercise in romantic sensuality, with their fanciful Rococo heels. With sumptuous materials and a fantasia of style, it can be Valentine’s Day any day you wear them.
9. GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI -- WITCH
We ♥ these beautiful red mules by Giuseppe Zanotti! These girls are on fire! Red suede “flames” hug your feet, while slim heels and internal platforms give you lift off.
10. RAF SIMONS -- DIOR
Second Skin, designed by Raf Simons, for Dior, might just be the coolest red boots ever! These red beauties have both a futuristic and retro feel. The killer heel is chunky in structure, but completely hollow, anchored by a pavé of shiny little balls.
