Spring 2008 Guerlain Collection
 

You'll find THE GUERLAIN WOMAN everywhere you least expect her. Playful, she doesn't hesitate to mix classical with contemporary styles. Cultured, she never misses the latest art exhibit, concert and new novel. Gourmet and passionate, she's a real connoisseur of fine food and drinks. She is totally alive, in every way. She works. She plays. She travels. She has brunch at the Bosco Café in Moscow, strolls along the Via Montenapoleone in Milan, shops on Avenue Montaigne in Paris, relaxes at the Park Hyatt in Tokyo, dines in London's Mayfair district… and yet, when she finds herself at the Whitney Museum in Manhattan, she's still dazzled.

Immersed in the marvellous retrospective universe of the Summer of Love, she discovers the 1970s and the fabulous psychedelic wave, Pop Art's creative rage, the wild fashions in Swinging London and the no less vibrant Paris, the riot of colours, the striking shapes, completely reinvented objects and liberating music. Neither retro nor nostalgic, this collection integrates all the best aspects of this truly Golden Age, reinterpreted just for her, by Guerlain, fully in step with her contemporary world.

She catches a glimpse of herself reflected in a glass display case. Her eyes, like a painting of light and shadow, artfully play on nuances of ash grey and bright pink. Her brilliantly shining lips, perfectly shaped and outlined, make an amazing work of art in hot pinks.

"I have always loved the seventies, the wild riot of colours and totally stunning optical effects, it's an ar tistic explosion that mixes together ultimate classics with groundbreaking new extremes. At the Whitney Museum exhibit in New York, I rediscovered the creativity of an era that continues to live on. I wanted to reference this phenomenon through our fresh spring collection… a wonderful "revival" after a long winter!" - Olivier Échaudemaison

Mixing and matching different fashion periods to heighten and glorify her beauty. That's the "style" of today's Guerlain woman. The Guerlain Woman will choose
