Paloma Picasso - Red

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."
