Frida Giannini knows how to cut dresses. Her designs for Gucci turn many a head. This season, she draped and pleated up to 35 metres of chiffon to create stunning eveningwear in this season's signature colour: red. Drawing inspiration from the colour, here are the Observer's top ten favourite red items from the high street
