The French have a word for it -
chic. A combination of style, elegance, and confidence, it is at the heart of
fashion for Fall 2008. Filled with retro glamour, and touches of both uptown and down, the
fall fashion runways featured simply beautiful clothing in a lush palette of color -
complemented perfectly by the sophisticated, sensual shades of La Collection de
France by OPI.
The effortless style for which French women are known - a juxtaposition of elegance and
ease - is captured this fall in polished combinations of tweed tailored pencil skirts and
lingerie-inspired looks. Seasonless fabrics and layers signal a new fashion climate, with
an irresistible, intense selection of colors - saturated shades of purple-blue, peacock
green, burgundy, ruby red, deep brown, and iconic black, accented with mustard yellow,
burnt orange, and cobalt.
Exquisite nails continue to be an integral part of fashion. Nothing completes a look more
beautifully than nails wearing the season's most significant colors; changing a lacquer
shade can change a woman's entire look - and her outlook. Thile couture fashion may be
reserved for the Paris salons, couture color for nails is accessible to every woman - and
luxuriant color is what this season's beauty is all about.
