RED IS THE NEW BLACK
It’s a “RED” takeover; everyone can’t get enough of this powerful colour. It has numerous strong connotations’, it is the color of love and hate, the colour of Cupid and the Devil, the color used to represent Valentines Day and danger as well. Perhaps the power of red comes from animal awareness. For years, matadors have taunted bulls by flashing a red cape. It is a strong and a bold color, and it is the trend that has taken over the autumn/winter 2017 shows.
Designers from topshop, Fenti, Givenchy walked the runway in our trending color, from jumpsuits to coats, to accessories, we can’t just get enough of this color.
According to Refinery 29, red is not just “ a bold lipstick, the sole of a shoe, the leather of a biker jacket”. There are different types of the colour; there is burgundy, cherry, rose, blood, scarlet and ruby.
Ladies, be Daring and beautiful in red. Men don’t worry you are not left out; there are fabulous red outfits for you to! From blazers, to pants, even Jumpsuits, you will feel more than confident walking down the streets in out trending fierce color!

CALIFORNIA at its greatest!
The design museum is currently hosting an exhibition on California called California: Designing Freedom - an eye-opening display presenting not only art and technological achievements of our generation but also the power of the attitude - NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE - each of us has Freedom to create and shape the present and the future.
A quite big gallery got divided in sections, See What You Want, Go Where You Want, Make What You Want, Say What You Want, Join Who You Want to make understand the concept of freedom achieved by technological tools better. The whole space is very interactive,visitors can watch shorts films presenting the every-day of living in California in 1960s, hear and watch Disney first animations screened on an old Sony as well as use a virtual map to locate and zoom in any place on Earth they can think of.
As most of you, I am very familiar with many 'products' labeled 'Designed in California' (Apple, Vans, Disney, Facebook) but this exhibition made me understand an enormous impact they had and have on our lives.
Now, as a social media generation with everybody having a smartphone, each of us has the power to express themselves and spread the news worldwide, no matter who we are and where we are. It's a fact. But probably as you do, I forget about how the reality looked back then, before 'Californian revolution'. The exhibit is a chance to reflect and see often a very humble beginnings of the most influential entrepreneurs of our times.
Snapchat Spectacles, 2016
Skateboarding paraphernalia also had a big impact on shaping many Californian brands and then worldwide trends.
Powerbook 100 Apple, 1991
self driving car, Waymo, Google
By giving us examples of the most recognised brands, curators - Justin Mcguire and Brendan McGetrick take us for a journey showing the beginnings of personal computers, social media, contemporary gadgets accompanied by Facebook HQ maps and Apple archives, Wired magazine issues and colourful graphics created by Californian artists. We also get a chance to see newly lunched products as Google's self driving car, Waymo.
But don't think that only tech geeks will enjoy it, a considerable effort was made to show a visitor a bigger picture of how the life was back then in California. Most successful ideas presented were determined by that time current political situation, commune movements and just this simple need of making life easier.
California: Designing Freedom provides you with quite an experience, and believe me or not but it really makes you feel good about our generation!
When: California: Designing Freedom runs from 24 May to 15 October 2017
Location: Design Museum, 224-238 Kensington High Street
The closest tube station: Kensington High Street
Ticket: Adult £14.50, student £10.75
Time: You need around 1.5h to see the exhibit
