Chanel’s symbolic colours
↳ Red

Red because “it’s the colour of life, of blood” as Gabrielle Chanel said. Red because it permits, when used as a lining of a purse, a quick find of what one is looking for. Red because, worn on the lips, it became Gabrielle’s signature and her declaration of good spirit. “If you’re sad, add more lipstick and attack. Men hate women who weep.” Mademoiselle asserted. Red, bacuse it is the colour of passion, of courage, of fire and of energy. (x)
