Alber Elbaz for Lancome

Exciting new beauty collaboration has just been announced! The famous Moroccan-born Israeli fashion designer Alber Elbaz of the house of Lanvin has signed a contract with Lancôme for a limited-edition color cosmetics collection!

Speaking about the new collaboration, Youcef Nabi, president of Lancôme International, said: “Alber Elbaz is, without a doubt, one of the world’s most influential fashion designers. But beyond that, he is also the most talented… His sense of luxury, his vision of femininity and that hint of audacity resonate perfectly with the new values of the Maison Lancôme. We are extremely proud and happy that, with us, he is set to channel his universe in the world of makeup for the very first time.”

This will be Elbaz’s first makeup product ever, even though he has had a lot of interesting art collaborations in the past. For example, Elbaz illustrated the song "Lady Jane" in Mika's extended play "Songs for Sorrow," and he even published a book of 3,000 photographs on Lanvin.  Together with the creative director Pascal Dangin of Box Studios, Elbaz has created a 15-second animated film, as a teaser for the upcoming makeup range.

The collection is to be released on June 15th, stay tuned for more information!
