Red
Picasso had a penchant for red; her red lipsticks were called "her calling cards". François Nars says about Paloma, "red is her trademark". "It's her signature, defining, one might say, the designer's red period."
Her fascination with red started at an early age, when she began wearing bright red lipstick at age 6. She has become recognizable by her red lipstick; "her angular profile serves as a reminder of her father's Cubist inclinations." When she feels like staying incognito, she simply avoids wearing her red lipstick: "Red lips have become my signature, so when I don’t want to be recognized, I don’t wear it."

Famous quotes containing the word red:
“It might become a wheel spoked red and white
In alternate stripes converging at a point
Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
Through weltering illuminations, humps
Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Where the slow river
meets the tide,
a red swan lifts red wings
and darker beak.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
