My new Autumn-Winter 2007 GIVENCHY LE MAKEUP collection plays a game of hide-and-seek. It’s a child’s palette designed for grownups. You’ve got to know how to play, to delight in life and to blend in – the better to stand out.
Adaptation and/or manipulation? CAMOUFLAGE lets you play with contrasts – matte/shiny, shadow/light, cold/hot – to better surprise others. We perceive LIGHT as relief and SHADOW as hollow. Camouflage lets you break the rules by reversing these values. It lets you change the way others look at you and show what you want to show. When you TRANSFORM yourself, you leave clues to be followed, just as you leave the trail of your fragrance behind you. Rather than blend in, you have to find a way to excite interest, provoke CURIOSITY.
Appear, disappear, play peek-a-boo. EXCITE with subtle revelations.
Let’s be CAMELEONESQUE!
