Happy Wednesday Red Dress Vixens!

Today we’re featuring a red dress by Alice Couture. The loveliness of Red silk CADY fabric meets the romantic beauty of Chiffon in this flared 8 panel best red dress is perfect for making a woman feel like a lady.

This is what the designer has to say about it: “The red is a magic color:it’s the color of passion, love, life and blood.
There are a lot of different type of red: antique red (this one is perfect for every woman,because it’s not so bright but it’s shiny!), blood red (a little bit more bright),poppy red and so on.
The red is a perfect color for parties and a night out…but it’s a great idea wearing a red dress in a wedding! The color of LOVE!

It matches perfectly with these colors: black, navy blue..and for a touch of real fashion, PURPLE!”

Coloring: Rich reds like this one, highlight Tan or Brown skin with a golden or red undertone very well. Pale skin with Peach undertones also look good!

Shape: The lines of this dress works well for most shapes. For a pear shape that is very bottom heavy, this would emphasize that.

Event: Party, Wedding, Dinner Date

Emporio Armani and (PRODUCT) RED continues with the launch of a special series of spring-summer T-shirts, for which a part of the profits of these sales will be directly given to the Global Fund to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. (Keep reading)

Starting from late April, these special T-shirts will be available in Emporio Armani stores in leading cities around the world. These stores will back the initiative by dedicating specially designed shop windows to it. The T-shirts will also be available online at www.emporioarmani.com.

Yes this sounds bad, but at least it’s for a good cause. Following it’s launch in December of the Emporio Armani (Product) Red bracelet, which bore Roberts’ tree of life design, on Thursday the Emporio Armani online store introduced matching men’s and women’s T-shirts featuring Roberts’ design in three colors: red, black and gray.

“Julia has helped to create beautiful and unique designs for both women and men, which will be a visible reminder of the part that we can all play in fighting AIDS in Africa,” Armani said. This latest (Product) Red offering from Emporio Armani, set to hit stores in September, costs $125 for both men’s and women’s models, with 40 percent of the gross profit margin going to The Global Fund, which finances AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria programs in Africa. In a further gesture of solidarity, the actress requested the Ts be made exclusively in Africa.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Lily Donaldson, Chanel Iman, and Georgina Chapman star in the Fall 08 Gap campaign. Liv Tyler is also scheduled to be featured in the print ads. Surprisingly, Gap has continues to be ingenious with their advertisements. Although, these are not as poignant as the Gap(red) ads, Gap’s fall campaign sheds words of wisdom. The dramatic black and white ads all have a fun message. Teen supermodel sensation, Chanel Iman’s, phrase is “name your own destiny.” We think she speaks from experience.
