The Changing Face of Chic
</hdr><body>
<p> Claudia Schiffer wasn't even a contender. Neither were other
supermodels. They were...well, too glamorous, too
intimidating for Oscar de la Renta's new perfume Volupte. Though
Polish-born Derota Puzio, the model chosen by the designer, will
surely turn heads, she looks like a regular person.
</p>
<p> "We wanted to use a girl any woman could relate to," says
de la Renta. "She is not a great beauty. But she feels
confident, and is comfortable with who she is. She could be any
woman." In television commercials for the exotic fragrance
debuting next month and in magazine ads in the fall, the
adventurous Puzio will be shown on a solo vacation in India. And
while the use of a "nonmodel" to promote a high-fashion scent
may be unusual, Volupte isn't likely to turn up in your local
bargain basement. A 1-oz. sculptured crystal flacon retails for
$300.
