Crank up the air conditioner, cool off with a chilled cocktail, and picture yourself wearing a duo from this elegant Fall/Winter Bordeaux Collection by Ken Downing, Neiman Marcus Fashion Director, for Le Métier de Beauté. For his second exclusive collection for Le Métier de Beauté, Downing took the essence of the fall runways and distilled it into a beauty collection that presents elegant, coordinated duos to transform you into a fall fox.

"The fall runways were filled with a polished sophistication and elegance. The message? Lady Chic," remarked Downing. "Ensemble dressing - elbow-length gloves, a sexy pump, and coordinating handbag - looks right for the fashion moment. Color is paramount! Bordeaux and deep magentas became my inspiration and palette for the matched sets I created for Le Métier de Beauté. Now, the fashion message for the season will be on everyone's lips and fingertips."

The three Bordeaux Collection sets, lipsticks and nail lacquers, will be exclusive to Neiman Marcus. They should inspire you to carry (not wear) your gloves! The gorgeous shades, from left to right in the photo above, have catchy names.
  1. Ken, Red My Lips (lips) and Gypsy Rose Me (nails) - subtle red with a blushing pinot undertone
  2. Ken's Wine on the Vine (lips) and Ken's Bodacious Bordeaux (nails) - rich, crimson cabernet
  3. I'm Worn This Way (lips) and Vintage Ken (nails) - Bold berry with a deep grape undertone
Each set will be priced at $49 and will be available in October. Given the fast sell-through of Ken's Korals, I suggest you get on the pre-sale list at Neiman Marcus now. The collection will also be available online at neimanmarcus.com. It's not even mid-July, and I am so over summer.
