Purple & Red: The Perfect Couple


I have been a fan of Purple and Red since 1989, seriously. I was eleven and wore a Purple and Red floral print dress to my best friend's recital. That night I was also rocking purple tights with lace ankle trim and clear jelly shoes, hot.

Purple and Red have made a recent push for recognition in my work. Since all of my materials come to me preloved I don't have the advantage of choosing a collection's color palette.  I literally work with what I find and this spring it was Purple.

A good purple pairing proved to be a tough order though. I went through all of my fabrics, matching it with every color, a feeling of defeat looming until I came to the Red, they were a perfect couple.

I should have started at Red. After all, I love Red and believe it goes with everything, even Pink, just try and stop me.
