Purple Haze

Versace

Versace Resort 2009
Christian Dior
There is a purple obsession for this fall.

The color purple has been associated with royalty since the Roman times when the Roman Emperors and Imperial family wore purple to symbolize the god Jupiter. The color is also associated with wealth since purple dye was one of the most expensive dyes to make. It was made by squeezing shellfish that produced a dye called Tyrian Purple.

Purple today is still associated with wealth and power but also with passion, sophistication, luxury, magic, and mystery. A perfect characterization of the fall season.
