The French Know.

The power dressing movement missed France.

Well, to clarify, not exactly missed it, the French just ignored it.

Since French women seem to know intuitively that being themselves is all the power they need.

Of course, it never hurts to have the right clothes.

French designers would see to that. As evidenced by this très chic vintage cut that I’ve duplicated stitch for stitch, stripe for stripe.
