The Birth of the Red Carpet
The concept of the red carpet has its roots in ancient Greece, where it was initially referred to as the ‘Crimson Path.’ This luxurious pathway was reserved exclusively for the divine and not meant for mere mortals.
The Crimson Path is notably mentioned in the ancient play ‘Agamemnon,’ which serves as the first installment in the trilogy of ‘Oresteia.’ In ancient Greece, red was sacred and considered challenging to produce. It was created by extracting colors from the kermes insect.
