A Fashion Designer’s Ongoing Love Affair with Red

Red is the color of love, yet for Donna Leah, founder of Donna Leah Designs, she can’t help but think that it’s a color to feel passionate about in the fashion world too. Her ongoing love affair with the bold hue is part of her energy and outlook.

The multi-hyphenate (think art-lover, style-innovator, fashion-diva) designer is focused on creating a modern woman’s wardrobe that is full of approachable styles that border on experimental.  Every time the designer makes an appearance on the Miami circuit, her impeccable fashion choices unfailingly make a strong statement. These styles communicate a sense of self-love, confidence, and the desire to empower women to wear what makes them feel at their best. Right now, red seems to hold a special place in her heart, her closet, and her latest collection.

Donna Leah recently shared new photos of herself on the brand’s website, showing off two-piece sets that go from work to play in moments. While posing against a backdrop of her favorite red ultra-modern furniture or favorite Miami view, she confidently shows how easy it is to wear the color in head-to-toe looks that are fresh and fun.  As with her other designs that embrace color, she allows accessories to play a role in the overall look.  She will often pair the ensemble with matching high heeled boots and accessorized with a faux-croc belt, and a glam neutral lip color.

Here are two more times that Donna Lah doled out her signature fashion inspiration in striking red ensembles.  Note the ability of the color to be transforming, adapting to the occasion with a few accessory adjustments. Red is a color that blends well with neutral shades, including white, black and gray.

Another reason to embrace red is that it is a color for every season. It can make a statement all on its own and will complement almost every skin tone. The color red can be an emotionally intense hue, bringing out a sense of excitement and confidence. It is after all the color of stop signs, firetrucks, and the boldest color in Wonder Woman’s uniform! While some may shy away from the color and feel that it is too strong to show a monochromatic look, Donna Leah demonstrates that a passion for color is all that you need to make a bold look seem natural and your own.

The latest collection, which was added to the online shopping site just the other day, finds inspiration in love.  Candy hot pink, bright red, purple, and multi-color dominate this season’s color palette which includes easy to wear fabrics, coordinating two-pieces, faux skins, and an element of the dramatic.  It all comes together, merging Donna Leah’s affinity for bringing a sense of sophistication and shine to every moment.
