Few other colours have the sheer emotional resonance of red.

Of all the colours, red is the rawest – the red of blood, of an unrequited Valentine, of searing, ‘red-hot’ rage, and of the inside of a chilli pepper. Here, as imagined by Phoebo Philo for Celine, red is quietly daring, turning a minimal, modern silhouette into a flash of sartorial fire; rendered in Philo’s orange-tinged vermillion, even this humble cable-knit sweater looks arresting.

“My favourite colour is red. This colour conveys the complicity between life and death.” – N. Araki.
