Lady in Red, Again and Again

The topic of the thirteenth annual New York Fashion Conference has been revealed: "Red: Allure, Style, and Significance." Who would've thought that the power of red was something large enough to be discussed at this yearly event — better yet, who thought it wasn't?

The dashing power color is a recurring favorite for many top designers, including Dior, Lanvin, Valentino, and Yves Saint Laurent. During the conference, the history of red will be examined, as well as its birth into the world of fashion and its psychological symbolism, which has a prime role in all cultures across the board.

The event is scheduled to take place at CUNY on the weekend of Dec. 3. Award-winning filmmaker Matt Tyranauer and InStyle Magazine creative director Hal Rubenstein will share a few words, along with the authors of Pantone: The 20th Century in Color, Leatrice Eiseman and Keith Recker.

If you could ask one question about the power of this ever-recurring color of fashion, what would it be?
