With party season fast approaching, it's time to kick-start your evening wardrobe. So here's an opportunity not to be missed! Grazia has teamed up with fashion forward French Connection to bring you exclusive VIP shopping nights around the UK and Eire. Dresses are still a key look for A/W '08 - choose from glamorous, structured prom dresses or one-shoulder cocktail dresses updated with this season's lace, fringing or silk. Trouser-suit fans mustn't miss French Connection's super-sexy tuxedo suit - high-waist black trousers and cropped tux jacket are the perfect evening alternative to a dress. Black is still the hot colour, but magpies needn't despair, because this season's accessories come with a big dose of sparkle - think glittery clutches and embellished sandals. But what we're most excited about is that if you sign up to one of these special shopping nights, you'll get a fantastic 20% discount on purchases! Plus you'll receive a very special goodie bag to take home. Book your place at one of these exclusive events here.
