Spiritually red symbolises rise and change in the way people think. Changemakers and creative thinkers are dominating most spaces to stimulate and reinvent the new norm. Transforming traditional views and creating diverse thinking. This thinking has translated onto the catwalks for both A/W21 and S/S21, showing the strength and survival of the human race. Evoking passion, power and vitality in our wardrobes, a shade of red is a trend must-have for 2021.
