The runways of the Fall 2008 season will sadly mark the slow decline of all that is flowy and feminine. It is the season of straight, clean and lean lines, and sculptured silhouettes. It is the season of the power woman..
The super skinny* and the ultra wide leg trousers grace the runways in Paris. The blazers and lapels make their statements loud and clear: the power woman is on the move; and she is serious.
This look has a masculine undertone about it but is also oh so chic. Everything from the form hugging fit to the rich colors creates a look that can be both casual and formal.
If you want something a little less authoritative, try pairing the trousers with a flounced top or wear the sculpted blazer with a pair of jeans. The result will always be sleek and chic.
Au Revoir for now,
la femme chic ; )
