A bold colour loaded with meanings. Enigmatic due to its infinite nuances that transform it on the spectrum between brightness and darkness. Red is at its most daring in this section of scarlet fabrics. In a museum, an artist’s statement becomes a hypnotic red projection, as in a Manly Interlinings fabric. Lanterns dimly illuminate a late-night venue, creating an alternation of light and dark spots, like the red ribbed fabric by Manifattura Foderami Cimmino. Ambiguous and edgy, red expresses its maximum emotional tension in the unmoving print on a Mitwill Textiles fabric. Free Time’s striking red features bright printed details like beams of light. Centro Comercial de Tejidos takes inspiration from a suspenseful, vermilion-coloured movie scene. In a cabaret, Fenili’s buttons light up the sign, carrying the spectators into another era. Ghioldi’s fabric seems to be shot through with the fast trails of city lights, creating a pleasant feeling of motion. Sensual and eye-catching like nothing else in the world, Intesa C’s velvet turns a sentimental shade of ruby, rather like the romantic blossoming velvet by Mi.Gra. since 1988 - Danive Mode. Red expresses subconscious, complex emotions, passions and expectations at times as bright as a fabric by Raphael emerging from abstract corners.
