Pink ‘n Red. So Hot Right Now
February 1, 2012 in Fashion Illustration, The PvdH View
Pink ‘n Red. So Hot Right Now. Long gone are the days when mixing pink and red was a fashion faux pas. Perhaps following the holy-moly colour blocking craze of last year, designers (particularly for footwear) are mix ‘n matching pink ‘n red in spectacular form.
Just ask Charlotte Olympia and her Masako satin pumps.
Predominantly red, with a touch of fuchsia, these towering ladies will get your heart racing.
And don’t even get me started on Acne’s Audrey silk mules. Just cool enough to make it into the ‘daywear’ category (as long as you don’t ride a bike, of course).
But my favourite are Stella McCartney’s satin sandals,
drawn (and animated!*) by yours truly above. With that pink and red satin (plus the chunky Perspex heel), these cool chicks** have just made it to the top of my shoe list.
Now now, I’d better stop typing before I seem even more obsessed than I already am.
Just remember, Pink ‘n Red. It’s definitely the new black.

Ohh great job on the gif! Love it! And these Stella McCartney's are gorgeous. Definitely like the mix of pink and red.www.thesignaturebow.com
I wish I knew how you did this! It's wonderful!
Oh I was pawing the last shoes just last week, I love them to bits, but they were just a bit high for me and you know, where am I going that I need another pair of shoes? Must stop buying for a life I don't have!
i love the color combination!
Love this!

[...] Oh, and I am totally rocking the pink ‘n red combo (which you might recall I was already a bit too enthusiastic about this winter back in London). [...]
