Happy Holidays from Europeana Fashion
Happy holidays from the Europeana Fashion team! To inspire you with the Christmas spirit we selected fashion in the ultimate Christmas colour: red. Red was traditionally worn by Saint Nicholas in the 4th century and the color stayed with him over the centuries while his legacy became that of Santa Claus. Red carries different meanings across cultures, from anger to happiness and from danger to beauty, but is certainly never dull. Have a look at some our best pieces in red.
