Modern Opulance: OPI's Russian Collection
Modern opulence. An easy, assumed elegance, a sense of grace, and an instinct for the finer things in life. A love of luxury and a taste for refined style. And the focus of fashion and beauty trends for Fall/Winter 2007 – beautifully translated into the Russian Collection by OPI.
This fall’s fashion runways were filled with sophisticated, grown-up style, influenced by looks of the 1920s - 1940s, with a polished, aristocratic overtone. Simple lines and luxurious fabrics – think cashmere, satin, velvet – stole the shows, with “architectural beauty” an important buzzword.Russian Collection shades: Vodka & Caviar (vivid crimson); An Affair in Red Square (shimmering red).
Look for shades of brown, dark plum, grey, deep green, indigo, red, and black worked into beautifully tailored, ladylike shapes in suits and trousers.--> Slim skirts and fitted dresses, often seen with looser coats and cardigans, are big this season, as is the ever-classic little black dress, now swingy and sequined. Russian Collection shades: Catherine the Grape (royal wine); Siberian Nights (inky onyx); Russian Navy (deep indigo); Boris & Natasha (rich raisin).
Evening wear dazzles with strapless dresses in velvet, cocktail dresses in floaty chiffons and satins, and paillettes, crystals, and jeweled medallions as embellishments. Metallics remain an essential look.Russian Collection shades: Midnight in Moscow (charcoal with maroon glints); Cosmo-Not Tonight Honey! (pale gold); Ruble for Your Thoughts (glimmering copper).
In accessories, you’ll see vintage footwear, including pumps and granny boots, as well as handbags with jeweled closures, and long gloves. Fur (real or faux) was seen on cuffs, hemlines, Russian-style hats, and coats (even worn with jeans).

Beauty this season complements the modern opulence theme. The runways featured smoky eyes done in black and brown, sometimes with a touch of red for drama; coppery golds and bronzes will also be big. Hair was smooth and sleek in elegant chignons. Colors for lips are eitherluxuriously dark or neutral.Russian Collection shades: St. Petersburgundy (lush claret); Krème de la Kremlin (terra cotta rose); Suzi Says Da! (dark chocolate).
The colors of the Russian Collection by OPI capture the trends of the season perfectly. Inspired by the aristocratic elegance of Russia’s past – an elegance passed down through generations – these colors are sumptuous, sophisticated, modern. And yes, opulent.
