NARS NARS x Steven Klein Makeup Collection

NARS cosmetics has partnered with the famous American fashion photographer, Steven Klein, for a special, limited edition makeup range coming out in October 2015. In the past, NARS has collaborated with important fashion figures such as designers like Christopher Kane and Thakoon, but this time, the brand announces the most daring and bold partnership ever. Klein is, the most influential, and certainly the busiest fashion photographer in the world right now. His artistic style has been described as eclectic, conceptual, sexual, and subversive. Klein worked for many high-end clients like Calvin Klein and Dolce & Gabbana, and he is a frequent contributor to many top fashion magazines.

NARS x Steven Klein makeup range is a 13-piece color collection and a 10-piece gifting collection. All items are packed in custom packaging, designed by the photographer himself. There are also two limited edition formulas – the Killer Shine Lip Gloss and Killer Shine Lipstick – as well as a completely unique bullet-shaped lipstick pencil.

“Steven is an iconic fashion photographer. His work defies the rules of photography—it’s arresting and provocative. It pushes boundaries and elicits a reaction. I like that. He perfectly embodies the spirit of NARS.” —François Nars, Founder & Creative Director

“I’ve always had the highest regard for François’ work. He is the pioneer of moving from one of the greatest makeup artists to creating great makeup. It is super exciting for me to collaborate using my photographs and joining them with his cosmetic genius.” —Steven Klein, Photographer
