In pictures: Meet Zorica Rebernik, Bosnia’s lady in red

Zorica Rebernik drinks coffee in her house in the village of Breze near Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

After four decades dressing in the colour from head to toe, the 67-year-old Zorica Rebernik has had tombstones (pictured) made for herself and husband Zoran - whom she married wearing a red gown - from a special red granite imported from India.

Zorica Rebernik stands in her kitchen. The retired schoolteacher lives in a red house, where she and Zoran eat from red plates, drink from red glasses and sleep in red bedding. Even her hair is dyed red.

"When I turned 18 or 19 there came a sudden, strong urge to wear red," Rebernik said. "There must not be a single dot of any other colour on my home decorations or clothes."

Zorica Rebernik's pictures, from the period when she was a teacher, are seen in her house. Rebernik's obsession with the colour has made her a local celebrity in her hometown of Breze, close to Tuzla in northern Bosnia. "Everybody knows me. As soon as people see me, they offer me different red things," she says, adding that she would reject any gift that is not red, no matter how precious.
