\nIn the opening scene of Reservoir Dogs<\/strong> (1992), Quentin Tarantino\u2019s feature-length debut<\/strong> (that we already discussed here), the director makes a cameo appearance. He is speaking in a diner; a legendary monologue that presents what he thinks is the true meaning of Madonna\u2019s hit song Like A Virgin. Apart from his speech\u2019s brutal content (we won\u2019t repeat it here), it\u2019s interesting to know that Madonna personally replied to Tarantino as the film gained global success. She sent him her album Erotica with a special dedication: \u2018Anyway, it\u2019s about love. Yours, Madonna\u2019. In the film. The name of the character that Tarantino chose for himself was Mr. Brown. \n\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nBrown<\/strong> is not on the colour wheel. It’s more a shade than a colour. It is obtained by mixing the primary colours of cyan, magenta and yellow. Variations happen with different doses \u2013 from beige to sand, and from ochre to Siena brown. It\u2019s a nuance that is widely present in nature and the artisan crafts. Let’s consider, for instance, the primitive paintings<\/strong> of horses and ibex inside the caves of Lascaux<\/strong>, France, or those of Altamira<\/strong> in Spain. Both were painted with mineral pigments and charcoal – the best that the Paleolithic era had to offer.\n\n<\/p>\n\n

\nThroughout human history, brown has always been associated with the lower classes<\/strong> as bright, colourful fabrics were expensive to produce and so available only to the rich. Poor people could only afford naturally dyed clothes \u2013 and that meant brown. Over time, brown evolved into a statement. In the Middle Ages, Franciscan monks used to wear brown robes to signify a humble lifestyle. The same concept was expressed in 1363\u2019s Statut’ de Victu et Vestitu (Statute Concerning Diet and Apparel): a law introduced by the British Parliament asking tradespeople and workers to wear identifying rust-coloured clothing made of raw wool. \n \n<\/p>\n

\nBrown\u2019s ennoblement became possible during the Renaissance, when brown tones were adopted to enhance the effect of light in paintings. We see this in Leonardo da Vinci<\/strong>\u2019s Vergine delle Rocce (The Virgin of the Rocks, 1483-86) which is displayed in London\u2019s National Gallery. The Virgin\u2019s pale skin and her vivid blue gown pop out thanks to an elaborate composition of browns in the background. The same tones used to intrigue Flemish painter Anton Van Dyck<\/strong> (1599-1641), the first royal painter in English history to invent a colour. Known as Cassel earth or Cologne brown, he often used it for portraits. \nBrown\u2019s warmth is featured in different moments of FILA history; in the 1970s for discreet golf looks<\/strong>, in the 1980s for elaborate swimsuits<\/strong>, or in the streetwear revolutions of the 1990s. \nThe most recent visions come from Josef Graesel<\/strong> and Antonino Ingrasciotta<\/strong>\u2019s Spring Summer 2019 Collection, which features a wide range of beige tones. Then there is Katie Grand<\/strong>\u2019s 2021 version of the Borg polo shirt<\/strong> \u2013 which is dark brown, street smart, and irresistible. \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n
