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.
Nails wear rich earth and jewel tones: dark browns, chocolates,
and caramels - We'll Always Have Paris, I'm Fondue of You, Crepes Suzi-ette,
lush mushroom - You Don't Know Jacques!; warm terra cotta and cinnamon - Baguette
Me Not, deep wines, purples, and aubergine - Eiffel for This Color,
Louvre Me Louvre Me Not, Yes... I Can-Can!, glamorous reds and burgundy - A
Oui Bit of Red, Bastille My Heart, creamy nudes - Tickle My France-y,
and precious grey-violet - Parlez-vous OPI?. A shimmery or smokey eye,
deep-colored lip, and subtle cheek round out the look. |
