Roses are red

Red is the colour of roses, chilli peppers and strawberries. It can be a romantic, seductive, hot or powerful colour with each different shade giving a different feeling. For Autumn and Winter 08 red was every where on the catwalk. Red is the perfect colour for an statement dress that really turns heads and is certainly not a colour for shrinking violets.

At Marchesa this divine red gown makes full use of ruffles and pleats for a romantic and very eye catching effect.

This frothy red dress at Giles has an amazing ethereal look created with layers of tulle. The bodice adds some structural support to the whole creation with a boned bodice.

At Alexander McQueen this full skirted feathered style prom dress was a  real show stopper with an white under skirt for added drama in true Alexander Mcqueen style.
