Last week, Anthony Vaccarello showed his Fall 2015 collection during Paris Fashion Week, at which makeup artist Tom Pecheux created a star-shaped graphic eye on the models. Now, the designer is teaming up with Lancôme, who sponsored the starry-eyed beauty look, for a limited-edition makeup collection that is set to launch this October.
“I was inspired by the Lancôme woman’s femininity and charisma—a special kind of elegance that’s never lifeless nor frozen. For me, Lancôme embodies the philosophy of understated beauty; it’s something quintessentially French,” said the designer.
“Anthony Vaccarello has a gift for redefining the contours of a strong, modern vision of femininity,” added Françoise Lehmann, Lancôme’s international general director. “We are thrilled that he has agreed to join us in this collaboration, taking over from talents such as Proenza Schouler, Alber Elbaz, and more recently, Yiqin Ying, Alexandre Vauthier, and Jacquemus. Entrusting a selection of our most iconic products to a designer with such a unique creative universe is an incredibly energizing and enriching experience.”
The Anthony Vaccarello for Lancome collection will be available on Net-a-Porter from October 2015.
