ADVENT: LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND THE FAIRYTALE OF AW12

Posted by Bethan Holt, Fashion Junior at Large
Valentino AW12

"Once upon a time there was a dear little girl who was loved by everyone who looked at her, but most of all by her grandmother, and there was nothing that she would not have given to the child. Once she gave her a little riding hood of red velvet, which suited her so well that she would never wear anything else; so she was always called 'Little Red Riding Hood.' "

The Colour Red.... Powerful,  sexy and glamorous at Valentino.

"Women usually prefer to wear black at events because it makes them feel safe, however, if there’s one woman wearing red, she will inevitably be the eye-catcher of the evening. It’s as though the room is suddenly illuminated- simply perfect for a grand-entrance"
