One of the greatest advantages of frequent travelling is the ability to capture the latest trends in many different cities around the world. Today I decided to share with you a selection of my photos from Singapore, Tokyo, Bangkok, London, Madrid, and Lisbon - all of them featuring red clothes and accessories. After all, red is not only in fashion at the moment, but it is also one of my favourite colours...

ABOUT RED

"Red catches people's attention, and can be used either in a negative way to indicate danger and emergency, or in a positive way in advertising to gain more viewers, or in nature, as a ripe fruit announces its readiness with its red color. Several studies have indicated that red carries the strongest reaction of all the colors, with the level of reaction decreasing gradually with orange, yellow, and white, respectively. Because of this, red is often used to catch people's attention in a variety of situation.

In China, red (simplified Chinese: 红; traditional Chinese: 紅; pinyin: hóng) is the symbol of fire and the south (both south in general and Southern China specifically). It carries a largely positive connotation, being associated with courage, loyalty, honor, success, fortune, fertility, happiness, passion, and summer. In Chinese cultural traditions, red is associated with weddings (where brides traditionally wear red dresses) and red paper is also frequently used to wrap gifts of money or other things. Special red envelopes are specifically used during the Chinese New Year to give monetary gifts. The red color of the packet symbolizes good luck.

Red, corresponding with fire, symbolizes good fortune and joy. It is found everywhere during Chinese New Year and other holidays and family gatherings. Red is strictly forbidden at funerals as it is a traditionally symbolic color of happiness." (Wikipedia)
