French Art, French Fashion


The French have an eye for all things artistic, and
fashion is very much a French art. Paris street fashion can appear as much an inspiration to the great fashion houses as inspired by them. Style can spell mess in the clutches of a meager imagination, so the French woman approaches it with all the soul of a studied painter.

In any great visual art, color mastery is essential and composition fundamental. Skilled at style contrasts, the French woman will mix the ultra feminine with the edgy, the finely tailored with the bohemian. With an impressionist’s eye, she will blend come-hither complements with the elements of surprise for a palette that requires a second look to fully appreciate.
