New collection: Givenchy Fall 2008 collection

All the items in the Givenchy Fall 2008 collection, created by Nicolas Degennes, are limited edition. Here’s what he says about his inspiration for the collection:
“Givenchy’s 2008 autumn-winter collection is a result of a train of thoughts and ideas inspired by a song very dear to me, ‘L’Aigle noir’ by Barbara, by the rich and diverse use of dots and by the sophisticated ambiguity of the dandy style.
It was no accident that I filled Barbara’s childhood dreams with dots. They reminded me of a Japanese artist, Yayoï Kuzama, whose work and life story had moved me. I was very touched by this ‘monographic’ work, which inspired me to explore the rich and diverse world of dots and the ambiguous world of the dandy, with its mixture of feminine and masculine codes.
The collection combines extremely refined textures and the discreet distinction of navy-blue cases with covers decorated with white polka dots.”

Prism Again! Shimmer’Eyes in Precious Shimmer
Contains gold, purple, and grey pearlescent shades and a matte black base (black dots on white background). The polka dots indicate the colour of the base and disappear with use. The base can be used to line or blend with the other shadows.

Prisme Again! Shimmer’Eyes in LE Smokey Shimmer
Contains three dense metallic shades in blue, purple, and silver-black and a matte white base to soften the look.

Pocket Beauty Case
Inspired by the dandy, this ornament is for the Givenchy woman who welcomes her ambiguity and is designed to appear like a men’s pocket watch compact. It contains a pink and white pearly highlighter than can be used on the cheeks and lips.

Captiv’Eyes
This rich new Captiv’Eyes volumising mascara is as dark as a moonless night. Dandy Black’s velvety shade coats the lashes with a creamy texture that emphasises the smoky look.

Magic Khôl
The deep blue of Magic Khôl’s Dandy Blue intensifies the eyes. Use as an eyeliner inside the eye with one line or smudge it on the lid.

Rouge Interdit & Pop Gloss Crystal
Rouge Interdit lets you show off two sides of your charm with two different languages to express your femininity: Romantic Dandy pinkish beige for a naturally flushed look, and pure, intense Fatal Dandy red, the most dangerous lipstick around! Matching Pop Gloss Crystal in pinkish beige or intense red can be used alone for glossy, transparent colour or as a top coat to accentuate shine.

Vernis Please!
The nails look as if they have been dipped in a starry night. Male codes meet female codes in luminous Dandy Moiré navy-blue varnish.

Prisme Libre
A new harmony, Dandy Beige, offers an extremely soft, natural look. The light veil of beige provides a matte, transparent surface. Masculine and feminine touches reflect off each other.
